I was in communication with Mr. Shadbolt, and he was most helpful. So! Here's the consensus. My dagger was indeed Indian Army issue originally. Probably sold out of surplus and finished in bright nickel plating along with, and mated to, a Germanicon fighting knife scabbard. So, no military collectible value really but more of a curio and for sure not common here in Canadaicon.
