Persian Khandjar
From the mode of dress, especially the empress style gown the woman is wearing that was popular during the reign of Napolean resulting from influence from his Egyptian campaign (1798-1801) would estimate this dagger from the reign of Faht Ali Shah (1797-1834), also seems likely an 1800-1815 date of manufacture very likely as the empress style womans dress went out of fashion very quickly after Waterloo (1815).
