I'd lean more towards a hunting dagger from Calabria. Everything I've seen that is stamped at the ricasso lends itself to southern Italy. Some of the Calabrian daggers look very similar to the Genovese style in Liguria.

I know in the thread you referenced the daggers with the Roosters and other animals etched at the ricasso are thought to be Ligurian - but my research tells me they are Calabrian.
