Dagger, child dagger, “kiddney dagger”?

[serdar]

A small dagger, engraved with initials, handle made from bone plates intertwine with brass, very nice thing.

If someone knows more about it?

You have not included a ruler/tape measure.
At first I thought such elaborate, delicate detailing might indicate a woman's piece, but it seems it is intended for outer carry (the belt loop) so I don't know.
Measurements might help.
Fine and fascinating weapon... and very effective.

Hy, i dont know if that is a belt loop, it is small, around 14-15 cm in total lenght with scabbard, and that metal loop is small, if it is for a belt, then a small one, thats why i thougt it is maybe childs?
Im on the go, so i cant take photo, but i mesured the dagger before it is between 14-15 cm.

Maybe it is womans dagger, or childs?
It reminded me on a kidney dagger, a gamblers or prostitutes dagger, but monograms, it leans more toward something a military face child would have, maybe from Austro-Hungary, or Croatia?

I agree, I did not realise it was so small. Let's see what everyone else's opinion is.

I would love to see the "loop" in detail when you have a chance. The monogram's T reminds me of an orthodox cross. The laurel motifs give the ensemble a military feel. The decorations have stippled backgrounds Syria does that also in brass I believe) and there are layers of scalloped edged sheet brass near the throat (Afghans use that). The decorations give a rustic feel. These all seem like clues to me, but I don't have an answer. Could there be something like a masonic association? Many of the shapes are squared and there are angular corners on the guard. Finally, the sheath is very like a Mauser bayonet sheath from the late 19th/early 20th century. What period do we believe this is from? I could see Austria/Hungary, even Russia, but my best guess is when rather than where, early 20th century.
