I would call this knife a zirah-bouk as it has the typical reinforced "armour piercing" tip.
I have seen many modern versions of this type of knife but very, very few that are genuinely antique.

It cannot be a pesh kabz: those are single edged.
This one is a crude and recent khanjar-like ( double edged) souvenir with a zirah bouk tip . If it is sharpened, it can be very useful in a midnight bar melee.
