I say again - clearly Ottoman influenced (could have been from both sides of the empire). Maybe East European or Balkan, possibly 'fokos'. Too long to be made of rail spike. BTW, Ottoman rail spikes were made of wrought iron that cannot be hardened, so they were useless as recyclable material for country weapon manufacture.
