Looks like a khanjar to me. Ottoman, syrian, Iraq? Lovely piece. Show us the blade. It could say a lot more.

Yep, Khanjar.

The more knowledgeable members can tell you more. In the meanwhile you should clean the blade and get rid off the rust.

Search the forum. There you can find some perfect articles that will give you the information you need to do this job properly. Don't forget to show pictures of the cleaned blade.
