Default Old syrian (Golan) Jambiya/Khanjar.

Hello,

Here is a Syrian dagger bought by my grandparents in Alger in the middle of the seventies.
After some research I found that it came from the area of Majdal Shams (Golan, Syria).
The blade is heavy and thick. The handle is made of bone, mother of pearl, brass, tin, horn (and wood?), coral (or colored red bone?) and pink stone?

There is a date on the back, but it is not clear 1225? (1810), 1235? (1819) 1325? (1907), 1335? (1917).

Another question: What is the name of this dagger? Jambiya or Khanjar? What is the difference?.
