Question A mystery knife - India or N. Africa maybe?

Hello all,

Here is a small dagger I recently acquired. The previous owner had no idea where it came from or how old it is. I liked the pearl, wood and clay inlay on the handle. On one side of the blade (8 3/8" inch) is engraved the word "Victory" fairly clearly. That doesn't sound like a working blade! On the other side I cannot make it out. Please see pictures below. I welcome any and all thoughts!
