Here is a similar Spanish dagger dating to 1876. This one is marked "Fab/ De /Toledo" on one side and "Ano/ de/ 1876" on the other. Handle is solid steel and the heavy sheath looks like either Brass or Nickle Silver. Sheath metal thickness all around is about 1/8". I suspect this was intended to sit on your desk, as a letter opener or for self-defense, depending on the owners mood and need at the time.
