Thanks Colin, an interesting suggestion!

I've privately been told Ethiopia is likely for this particular scabbard. Attached is the sword it came with, although it seems an odd marriage...

It´s strange in connection with Takouba, but the pattern was really used in Ethiopia
Regards,

Hi Martin,

Thanks for the confirmation. It is indeed strange! I'm always amazed how many variants and odd combinations there seem to be.
