Acquired from my friend grandfather. Thoughts on age and value?

Hard to see from the photos, but Persians nor Ottomans put fullers in their blades, could be a European blade.

You can find plenty of Ottoman blades with fullers, it's less common with Persian, but still occasionally present. The hilt on this example is definitely of the Ottoman style. I would guess 19th century. The grips looks like they may be rhino horn. Shine a bright light next to them and see if they are translucent.
