It's easy, Galvano, as it could be only one opinion - Very Nice:-)
Nice walrus hilt of above average quality. The blade appears to be wootz.
You're right - Persian/Qajar, 19th Cent. Very elegant jambiya. Would benefit from light blade cleaning and etching as it appears to have small amounts of rust, but do NOT clean the hilt.
