These are great examples folks! Many thanks!

My favorite scabbards are the brass ones.

although not the bichaq type this dagger from 1890 is still part of the "Bosniaken" family and a little more luxurious (f.i. details on the ferrule and scabbard ).
It took 2 1/2 months to get from the good ol' U S of A to me ( in Europe).
April 12th to July 1st ... guess USPS used the Kon-Tiki

but ought to have waited 3 more days... ( 4th of ...)

and as uncle Battara likes his copper scabbard...
one is happy to oblige....!

also nice to see is how they incorporated the top rivet nicely. Something you do not see with their bichaqs.

I can show this piece with a green coloured bone handle, total length with scabbard is 29cm:
