Hi unclebob,
Welcome to the Forum!
That's an interesting old knife you have there. The shape of the blade is vaguely reminiscent of an old Thai blade form, commonly called an enep today. That said, this is not a Thai knife IMO. I think what you have is a western interpretation of an old knife form--the integral guard and hilt suggest western manufacture to me. Perhaps this is someone's version of a "scimitar."
Hopefully one of our members will come along with a more specific answer for you.
Ian.
