Come to think of it, I've also seen those decorative motifs as on your dagger scabbard, on items of Taureg adornment such as amulet cases and turban ornaments...

Hi Colin, I think that you are just about on the money. See here... http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showth...t=telek+dagger
The shape of the hilt on mine is rather close to that of the Telek posted here, so it is not unreasonable to suggest that this is maybe a Taureg creation, using (maybe), a koumyya blade. The decoration is close also though not exact, but then there are many Telek daggers with different decorations on brass scabbards.
