Default Your Thoughts on this one

Guessing this one may have turkish ribbon pattern?? It came highly polished and first etch displayed tempering at both blade tip and hilt. Both the horn hilt and scabbard show relieving for a normal raise ridged jambiya blade. Do you think the blade is as forged or was it reground removing the ridge and causing excess heat to the blade end? It's hard to photograph.
So is this another damaged blade case or what?
