I'd say it's late-ish Victorian/Edwardian. Possibly for a society, possibly just for 'collectors' to hang on the wall or put on their desk.
Looks reasonable quality. I did wonder if it was just possibly some obscure eastern European court dagger or even a naval dirk of similar origin, but the bare brass fittings with no plating or design at all.... |

From what I can see in the photographs, it looks like 20th Century reproduction, 'wallhanger', possibly theatrical or film prop. They hilt construction reminds me a lot of mediaevil-style reproduction swords and daggers, often made in Spain.
