Michael-- This is a WWII era Iranian fighting dagger--These were bought by allied soldiers as souvenirs or  as a boot knives..These generally have fire-blued blades and gold-inlaid blade markings that traditionally included the Persian Crown.The handles were horn, usually buffalo horn.Most were fairly cheaply made, although I have seen a couple similar to yours being offered for $250.00 online.
