Hi Aristeidi,

I believe this kind of "kopis like" blades are earlier than 19th century, i would say that i have seen some examples that are from the mid 18th century.
The type of hilt reminds me some balkan yataghans, for example resemples the one bellow that has a latin inscription on the blade witch propably associates with the place of origin. I posted in the past this dagger but we didnt find any clues.
