Taube, looking at your scabbard I wonder if yours is a Nepali piece. The scabbard construction is very similar to that seen on khukri.

Thanks, Emanuel.
Very interesting aspects you are hinting at.
I just liked the piece as an object but you are really filling it with life.
My Katar was purchaseded in Jaisalmer, Rjasthan.
Of course, you can never be sure about seller´s appraisals.
