Although these type of weapons are not my field, I think Emanuel gave the right description.
But I'm afraid that it is a rather rescent made blade. A waved blade is rather uncommon for these type of daggers. Looking at the close up of the blade I see some marks of a file and the blade looks rather thin to me. Although the piece looks nice, I'm afraid it isn't the real thing.
