Reconstructed Persian weapons

[Peter Raftos]

I am not sure where I saw it ,perhaps trawling through Flikr, but there is an akinakes scabbard of wood which was supposed to have been found in Egypt. In shape it is pretty close to those in the Behsitun reliefs. It was dated to mid 6th-4th century BC. In outline it is similar also to the gold sheathed example in the British Museum. Has anyone else seen this image.
