Id guess from ww1 to ww2 period, but that's just a guess.

Shibrya The Bedouin daggers from around Syria, Palestine, Jordan etc also often have identical soldered belt loops.

Perhaps there's a connection there?

Thanks both. The inside of the belt loop is covered in some sort of white paste. I can scrape it off with my fingernail, so I think that paste would be gone if anybody had ever ran a belt through it. Maybe it was a later addition as suggested.

I also noticed the very tip of the blade is all chewed up, similar to what happens when you try to use the tip of your pocketknife as a makeshift screwdriver. Maybe it served as a utility knife.

The white paste is probably just brass cleaner, badly cleaned off.
