Jim,
The scabbards shape for both your & CharlesS sabers are virtually identical including the reptile skin of the strap attachments. Also, the diamond motifs on both grips and the dress on your scabbard (raised diamonds) are inverse kin to the same motif on many later kaskara including those from Ali Dinar's workshop (raised center with dot). I discuss the diamond motif in my Kaskara in Silver Dress paper.
Best,
Ed
