For a first nimcha you have done quite well, congratulations. The scabbard is likely a replacement, but the decorations are indeed very similar to those on flyssa scabbards, which suggests a Kabyle...

I have always viewed flyssas as the Kabyle interpretation (and imitation) of the yataghan. If this is correct, than this one has a chance to be relatively early, given the blade shape and the lack of...
