Khanjar or Jambiya?

Dom is right, it's Ottoman (Balkan?). but probably later than 18/19th. The blade is of Indian "Tiger Jambiya" shape. The handle looks awkward and non-functional, and likely shortened/replaced from another piece.

you are correct as usual my friend

may I had, that could be a "presentation" dagger,
or a dagger "de cour", but, certainly not a weapon for fight

Hello you two
I thank you for your answers.
