Lapland / Sami scabbard ?

Definitely Lapp. First half of the 20th century.
Not sure if the Lapps made cribbage boards. This is a scabbard, in any case.

Agree, Lapland (Sami) scabbard. I've collected Nordic knives for years. Have one similar but more solid with less spikes on the antler. I suspect they were made either for festivals, gifts or tourists. Hope you have the knife that goes with it. In my collection it is classified as folk art. Nice regardless of what you call it.

Thanks everyone for confirming that.

Unfortunately there is no knife.
