Your'e right John; the dha i have with an inlaid blade also has a simple scabbard. Amazingly, i have just noticed that, the decoration of my such example is extremely similar to one the specimens shown in your page ... and so is the type of "stamping" on the grip collars.
Most certainly they originate from the same region, right ?

Yes, C60 & C61 are also examples of this type. That scabbard & silverwork style is seen quite often, on a variety of dha (see ## 42, 49, 52, 52, 64, 66, 69, 70, C13, C34-36, C52, C53, C60-63). I think that there also is a relation to dha of the style seen in ## 37, 44, 61, C1, C41, and the like, which have a similar "foot" on the scabbard, with varying degrees of flare, and the sectioned scabbard fittings as opposed to bands. The same silver bead and filigree design is also seen on the somewhat differently-styled #45.

Thank you for your comprehensive input, Mark. I think i have picked C60 and C61 instinctively, because of their similar (to mine) type of grip; the collar in silver and the rest all in ivory ... no pommel.

I am sure they are from the same influences and I would not be surprised if they were from the same maker. I cannot offer anymore about where mine came from originally. I have no idea
