Long shot here. Maybe a Japanese brand like "Valor"? Good luck with it.J.O'.

Looks like a Mexican hunting knife to me. The cast aluminum handle and the eagle pommel are typical Mexican attributes. It probably had cow horn inserts in the handle which have been eaten by bugs. Age wise, I'd venture 1950s-1970s. Value? Not much. Might be cool to clean it up and install new handle inserts and use it!

The knife made me think Mexico as well.

Looks like a fun beginner fixed blade resurrection project.
Pocket, fixed, machete, axe, it's all good!

Your knife looks like an old theatre knife to me.
