I would not be surprised if this knife from Corsica or other Med Islands especially ones that have had an Islamic influence. There are strong Spanish and Italian styles in the form. I can post pics from "Swords & Daggers, Frederick Wilkinson", "Edged Weapons, Fredrick Wilkinson" and "Swords & Bayonets, R.J. Wilkinson-Latham". All 16-17cent pieces and rather fine. This dagger is so similar but more simple with that ethnic look. Could be late 18th cent, very nice too.
