Default Ottoman Turkish (?) Dagger

Good Evening To All !

Attached are several pictures of what I believe to be a 'Turkish' dagger that I picked up very cheaply at a local coin shop. I believe it's origin may be Ottoman Turkish, World War I era. Extensive repair ( crude ) work can be readily seen on it's handle. The handle sports 'mother-of-pearl' and wood inlay. It has some sort of acid etched inscription on the blade which 'almost' appears to be the English word 'Victory', however at the base of the letter 'V', the two lines forming the 'V' do not meet to truly form that letter. There was no sheath that accompanied it. If anyone can provide any information based on this limited information, it would be truly appreciated. A better image of the inscription can be provided if requested to help in it's possible identification.

Thank you all in advance for any help that you may be able to provide !
Warmest regards to all !
