Not sure about the scabbard, but the sword has a central Asian look like Kazakhstan, Tajikistan, and the rest.

It looks like a Shashqa variant to me as well, re-using a military blade.

I suspect it is a composite put-together sword to resemble central Asian shashka. The handle is likely taken from old serving cutlery knife.
