Apologies for the lack of photos in my first post I didn't see the specifications for photos so I was trying to add them in a resolution that is not supported.
Fingers crossed with this second attempt will be more successful... |

Looks to me like an Iraqi Marsh Arab dagger. A nice older one. I do not think the scabbard metal is silver.

Not a Marsh Dagger IMHO. The top of the hilt is all wrong for that. Looks more like a Kurdish dagger with worn shoulders. The scabbard etc could well be silver. The easy way to check, is to see if the metal is magnetic. If it is not, then it is likely silver of some undetermined quality.
