I just picked one of these up to match my 1917 Turk Gewehr 98. It's interesting that the scabbard on mine was modified in the opposite way that yours was. While the throat end is all original German, the point end was crudely cut and re-welded into a taper with just about the ugliest finial I've ever seen.
