Turkish knife

This probably isn't the place to discuss this dagger, but I would like to show it anyway. I found it on ebay Belgium last week and it was cheap

I was a bit intrigued with the blade of this knife. It seemed like it was made from some kind of broken sword or bayonet blade. The handle and sheath are made from copper.

When I got it I was surprised how well it was made. The seller told me that it was some kind of trench dagger. The knife fits the sheath very well. When you turn it over, it will not fall out of the sheath. The hand guard (or what's it called ?) is also made from copper.
On one side of the sheath a ring is attached, probably to fasten the weapon onto a belt.

Total length : 28 cm.

Look at the pics. Any comment ?
