hi Fernando,
Beautiful dagger,
The pommel is of Norman type 60 and attributed to the first half of the 17th century, mainly known on paintings made in west european countries.
The blade with a flat long ricasso and diamond cross section was frequently found on rapiers at the end of the 16th century.
yes I can agree on 1580-1620, but German or Italian? difficult to tell.
best,
Jasper
