Default Help ID for Asian knife

Hi, What kind of knife is this exactly, I can see some similarities with Afghan choora or Karud. On the sheet you can see some remains of messing or gold
Total lenght is 35 cm.
Thanks.

Is it possible that the original blade of a choora has been replaced? The bolster looks as if the edges may have been broken off.

Just a knife people who were into getting in trouble used to carry in the early 1900s late 1800s. Just something to stick your opponents with.
