Silver dagger jambiya style brooch, with stones.
I’ve had similar Arabic type pieces with a little dagger fitting into a scabbard
This looks like an Arabic piece perhaps but I can’t read the mark - it’s non English alphabet.
Don’t think it’s Arabic or Hebrew or Cryllic or Hindu.
Any ideas? Not sure even which way up mark is!
Thank you

Could be Turkish or Indian. Maybe also check out Mexican silver

Looks like it's also had a Safety Keeper Chain from scabbard to sword handle by the looks of those rings, there so you don't lose the dagger from the scabbard when drawn 😉

Thanks Naomi and Potty.
I can see similar from Middle East and Mexico tho mark with different alphabet letters is still a puzzle. I tnink it is all one piece and dagger doesnt come out. But I will check again. It’s stuck for now tho. Keeper chain has gone.

I have a similar one with keeper chain which makes me believe your dagger comes out also, bit of WD40 might help 😉
