Hi Chregu
khanjar, Indo-Persian, 18/19th, very rich ricasso
and nice gold koftgari on the blade, no scabbard ?
this one could give us more precisely the origin ... (may be Ottoman ??)

the handle is difficult to appreciate if it's amber or not
have a pin, heat it till red, then sew in an inconspicuous area
the smell will tell you the truth, better than any comments

all my compliments for that fantastic Khanjar
