Scabbard

Scabbard for a Turkish dirk. The solid brass scabbard is gilded. The scabbard has very stylised bands of rope to secure each of the two suspension rings. The mounts are engraved with the 'ermine' pattern with chevrons at the chape. The scabbard follows the German form and the decoration on the blade is in the German style.
