It's a British navy officers or midshipmen's dirk ca.1800, roughly Trafalgar period. A nice dirk, I am very enamored of these. This hilt style is frequently seen on dirks of that time frame. Here is one similar to it in my collection.

Excellent example Dmitry, showing virtually the scallop decoration the same in the crossguard center. The openwork on the scabbard is like on a Thomas Gill M1788 officers saber, seemingly following that convention on many European hussar saber scabbards.
