I seem to have bought a Sewar.

Very nice furniture.
Sewars are stabbing daggers and are not intended for slashing blows with likely hitting hard objects. I know about scarf welding, but just in case....
This sewar had a misfortune, but likely was important to to owner to justify the repair.
But the carving and the silver rings on the scabbard are very attractive.

You have a keen eye, and this might explain the the bargain price.
