Chregu, the fittings on your kard have Afghani look, and are quite typical for Central Asia.
The kards on above picture are Persian (or Indo-Persian). Pay close attention to details, and you'll learn the difference.

IMHO, the scabbard fittings do not belong here. The drag makes sense only if it was intended to protect the scabbard from being damaged by the contact with the ground. Makes sense on a saber scabbard, but not on a knife one.
