Well I thought of thice piece  {the central one, {old photo I had handy  

 .}
But then I am intrested in symbolism.
As its neither European, 19th century, nor has a cast handle  the evidence of this piece in  how to look at the scabbard is worthless in this discusian though.
It looks like your learning though if you apply the same concepts to the dagger featured , what conclusians do you then reach?
