Kindjal or something else?

Hello,

My father has given me a dagger/knife/blade (sorry - not sure of the correct language) that he received from a family member who worked on repairing the Munich Opera House in Germany in late 50's early 60's. The person found it wrapped in cloth (fell a part immediately) in rubble in the foundation. The Munich museum told him it was Roman, offered to purchase it, but he declined.

Low and behold, I own it now and trying to figure out 1) how to restore and 2) where it may have originated from.

After some research and reading many posts on this site, I'm thinking it may be a Kindjal from Armenia, but not sure.

If anyone can comment or forward me to someone who would know, I'd greatly appreciate it.
