Silver Pinned Khanjar

What can be said for this relic. It's tightly silver pinned missing a lot of silver but, I'm not quite sure how much decorative metal is gone. The tight pinning encouraged Me to think it was a horn hilt, so far it doesn't show light thru at any point. I"m not sure if it'sall patina or if there is some sort of applied finish. What is it called and estimate of age. If it is worthwhile I'd like to replace missing decorative parts. Looking forward to your thoughts,
Steve
