It is a type of Indian dagger, known as Kandjar or Katar. The dagger is an unusual type since it is grasped by the crossbar and when this is squeezed hard the broad double blades open up in the body of the unfortunate victim like a pair of scissors (from Alwar by R J Benns)

They were made obsolete in 1902 when the postal service was taken over by the British Indian authorities (from Alwar by R J Benns).
