Turkish Dagger
These all metal hilt and scabbards (mostly of brass but seldom in siver ) were produced in Germany for the Turkish /Ottoman army just before the 1stWW and They were named ENVERİYE since these were ordered by the Chief of Staff of the Turkish Army ENVER PASHA.
Your example I am afraid has a non original hilt and a scabbard.However blade is original most of these government ıssue daggers have a number inscribed on the blade in addition to Tugra.The model came from the Topkapı palace Museum where the original is still there.
