My opinion for kilij scabbard is a syrian work for ottoman empire market in last quarter 19 century. I think the wood is new and the iron parts in scabbard is from a older sword.

The kilij that the scabbard was made for is early 19th century and has a iron crossguard so they might have saved the iron fitting from the old scabbard and replaced the rest.
