Sheath May Help
			 
			 
			
		
		
		
			
			Ian, 
 
I have a dagger just like yours and, like yours, mine is missing the hilt wrap. I have seen a few of these daggers over the years, so I guess that they are popular but I don't ever recall seeing one with the hilt wrap present. Perhaps the sheath for my dagger will help to confirm your surmise of origin or even narrow it down a bit. 
 
Sincerely, 
RobT
