Dom, the discs are stamped and applied to the metal. In general technique's terms, such method is not something I'd consider authentic. That was used very late in 20th C on some metalware items like ewers, pots, etc. This is why I used the term "fantasy". Also, it looks quite flat in profile, resembling more Iraqi jambiya than Ottoman dagger.
Any other substantiated opinions/comments from others?
