Weapon for ID

I agree with Kubur. It looks like a Khyber knife with an armour piercing tip.

Kubur and Battara thank you for comments.
To sum up, we can say that:
1. the place of origin of this weapon is Northern India.
2. this weapon does not have its own name and is not a type of any particular weapon. Rather, it is a hybrid.

Is the blade made from flat stock or is it V shaped? Scabbard tip looks like the British 1860p bayonet in design. The old leather strap does not convince me this piece is old.
