I missed seeing the lug, you have a good eye there. Could be a bit earlier then, mid century caplocks were more common.

... and I nearly forgot Tristan's sword from Stardust 2007, which was a Khyber Knife with a knuckle guard... Possibly one of the military ones for the Afghan army.

Continuing our theme, Pirates (1986 film) has a scene with one pirate wielding a Chinese Dao.

I would hazard a guess on Baluch, and the brass fitting is for the match. The plain tube is a snuffer to put it out, the pierced part to keep a live coal safe and live.

A fair old mix of gear

Swiss Family Robinson 1960 displayed a fair old mix of gear with the pirates. Apparently there were complaints that the oriental pirates looked too Oriental and villainous.

Today's purchase Sunday 15th March.

Local arms and militaria fair, and this was on the table and it left with me for a bargain price! Mounts are "alpaca" and nicely elaborate.

Apologies for a misdirection, it is a two ring scabbard. I am just looking to find out what it is, rather than needing it to Regency British or Empire.
