Thank you all for nice words!
I can tell you the address of the shop, but there was only one of these

, and I think there willn't be any other in the next 100 years..
Of course I looked for the similar examples in "Arms and Armour from Iran" and in Internet as well, but couldn't find the same. The blade seems to be Pesh Kabz type, the handle has a Kard form, and similar bone carvings I have seen only on Persian Jambiyas. But the whole mounting seems to be perfectly original to the blade. So this dagger appears to be a bit special.
