Not sure, and hopefully someone more familiar with the genre will fill in the blanks, but this looks like one I saw described as a souvenir 'Victory' naval dirk, one that was mass produced ans sold to the public to celebrate Nelson's victory over the French. Originally there would have been a chain running from the quillion to the pommel. The etched panel should have 'Vixtory" on one or both sides. I also have no idea how frequently and in what quantity after-markey forgeries have been produced.
