Very nice knife Stefan! Is the ring at the handle from gold?

Regards,

Hello

The scabbard is made of white metal, it seems to me, produced in Germany + ia to be sold in South American countries, and produced industrially. If the blade belongs to the original set, the hilt has been lost and has been replaced by a piece of wood (?) That has been very short and thick, I think, I have an original specimen, but I have to photograph.

Warmly

The from you shown Herder knife scabbard is different from the the one in question. Only the figure in up is a little bit similar.
The handle from the knife in question is from horn I think. And I also think that the ferrule at this handle is original to the knife and so it seems that the complete handle could be original.
Also the blade seems to be different, the knife in question shows a Spanish notch which isn't present by the Herder knife.

Regards,
Detlef
