Albanian khanjar?

Thank you, gentlemen!
I suspected that the blade was rehilted some time in the past, as it doesn't match the lesser quality of the handle and the scabbard.
This is what it may have looked like originally.

I agree too that this looks rehilted.

Great pictures - wish I had the money

Hi Dmitry!
Blade - very, very interesting and rare, but what is the value subject entirely?
Unknown even original appearance ... There is a similar object in the original, it is such a blade (four-edged)? What age?
Regards, Igor.
