A hunting dagger? I have no idea

I just bought this, it was too weird to pass up. I don't know whether to post it in the Euro or Ethnographic section, so apologies if I posted in the wrong place.

Most of the bits and pieces all look European saber/briquet/bayonet parts to me, but it looks like it was repurposed by some other culture. The taper of the blade is very strange, it looks like it's been sharpened down many times over the years. The cross guard looks like it was cut down or broken, but it's impossible to tell from the picture. I'm not sure what to make of that finger ring either.

It's 60 cm long. The seller described it as a hunting dagger.
