Yes, you have there a very nice Ottoman "court dagger" with what appears to be a walrus ivory hilt.
The blade is likely some form of wootz, likely low contrast or perhaps sham. It may need to be carefully etched. That said, there is also the possibility that it is not wootz, but so many of these are, and as nicely as yours is mounted I am betting it is. |
