Yataghan dagger with inscription

[eftihis]

A yataghan dagger with a silver scabbard. I think the dagger is newer than the scabbard, usually silver scabbards of this type do not contain daggers with black horn handles.

This is a Cretan knife
He is may have horn handles with silver scabbard
On a silver stripe on the hilt (tang band?) zigzag ornament of alternating crescents (or curly vine)?

[kwiatek]

The Turkish inscription says:

Ustası Giridli Selim [1]322

“Its maker, Selim from Crete. [1]322 (1904-5 AD)“

In old cretan knifes there is NEVER a black horn handle with silver scabbard. A silver scabbard fits only with white handle, either bone or ivory. On the stripe between the handles there are various designs. Thank you very much kwiatek for the translation!

eftihis, I beg your forgiveness if I caused your irritation.
I understood your first message so that you expected to see a silver hilt with this scabbard, like on bichaq.
And the words "horn" and "ivory" in English, I confuse even with a translator)
Forgive me my English, this is temporary)
The drawing on the strip between the handles interested me precisely on the knife from the message #1.
This is a very interesting authentic Cretan knife.
If this is not a problem, please show this drawing .
And if you show it, then please show the hilts marked in the photo.
By the way, a very beautiful photo.
