Default Heavy Jambiya

Overall,it shows wear and age as though it was used a weapon. The blade is over a quarter inch thick in a diamond shape,it weighs one pound, all steel construction with silver koftgari hiding in the rusty patina.
It appears to have been used but I'm puzzled by it's weight one pound and can't help wondering if it is an 19th century European tourist bring back.
Any and all thoughts are appreciated.
