Chregu, this is Afghani or Central Asian kard, and possibly Turkmen. The red material is likely later replacement. These usually have longer sheaths which fit the handle almost completely, leaving only 1/3 of it out, so the scabbard's core could be later addition. You may determine the age of wooden sheath core by inspecting the condition of wood. The fittings are old, late 19/early 20 C.
