ANOTHER ONE FOR THE DHAFIA

Hi guys,
Just received this, and am interested in your thoughts. NOT in my opinion a "tourist" item as the blade is razor sharp and the whole item appears too well made. Also definate age shown on the Dha, and wear on the baldric. Metal on hilt and scabbard bands and drag is brass, showing quite good age tarnish.
Size is SMALL---overall in scabbard 24". Blade 15 3/4". Hilt 6"
I wondered if this has been made for a boy? What area of origin?
HEEEELLLLLLP!!
