The scabbard does remind me of my Nepali 'Bowie' knife's one. the ridge formed by the 'string' near the throat is to keep a slip-on frog from riding up.
I've been holding back on the photo until now.

In my humble opinion, scabbard looks 100% nepalese, as much as bolster that is really similar to kukri ones.
The start of the sharpening have an indian/nepalese feeling too. To me, the origine is quite sure |
