Old dagger found

Hi, i purchased this today, i think it's very old dagger but No idea from where country and age exactly! I cleanit because i found it very dirty.

Can anyone please help me to identify it?

Thanks un advance.

 

Leather and "plastic" handle... possibly WW2 era and not real old.

 

Usually not plastic - more likely to be horn?

 

Lucite/plexiglass

 

Don't think so, but we'll never know from just photos Maybe you are right but I'll stick with horn!

 

@komokwa @springfld.arsenal may have an idea

 

I'd think milled brass, leather and bone....the blade looks similar to a French fighting dagger....but the handle looks theater made .... WW2 style.
It's also possible ....see the shape of this handle...



to be a Fairbairn Sykes variety...
and it could even have been custom made......
'it's always a bonus to identify the blade'...cuz it gives a starting point for the millions of WW@ ear daggers made..

 

@komokwa I can't help it. . .. . ."ear daggers". (don't you dare edit your post & make me look like I imagined it)

 

ear daggers....for slaying ear worms !!! No ??

 

AND ends in an acute PAIN!

 

It’s keratin the clear part of a horn

 

Very similar to a knife my dad made in shop class in the 40s. His was, indeed, Lucite but could see this being horn as well.

 

I have no idea, my father is a blacksmith and makes daggers, i can say at least it's not NORTH AFRICAN, I can confirm that.

the form reminds me of British commando boot daggers.
