Hi,
Having had a look at the knife posted by Jerseyman the scabbard does indeed look like it comes from a bayonet. It particularly reminds me of the German K98 although the frog attachment is different or possibly altered to accommodate a similar hanging method to the one I posted. The Germans had of course been to Tibet re their 1938/39 expedition so it is not out with the bounds of possibility. The fuller on the knife Jerseyman posted is not the same as the K98 bayonet itself. Just some thoughts.
Regards,
Norman.
