Hi Mark,
I completely agree with Ron, these daggers remain widely in use throughout North Africa, and are equally widely diffused via trade routes as they have always been. In my view, the bottom example Ron has shown has compelling resemblance, and may be considered a likely match at least typologically. As for exact provenance, that would be extremely difficult. In any case, a simple but interesting item.
Best regards,
Jim
