Ottoman Empire? Dagger for ID

[RobT]

Thanks for your responses. I seem to have a penchant for things that don't quite fit. While I tend to agree with David R’s Sürmene attribution, I have also noted the blade shape as mentioned by Battara and Ian. As I said in my initial post, I am currently cleaning the blade (with Nevr-Dull). This hands on process gives me the tactile sense of a koummya. Go figure.
I should also mention that my hand contact is rubbing off the yellow color on the ferrule and it is coming up silver.

Sincerely,
RobT
