Greek? Knife

This little knife is not mine, but belongs to a friend who has some questions.

As you can see, the knife is in bad shape, with damage to both blade and hilt. It is a pity, because the blade is wootz.

The first question is about origin - we think it is Greek, but would love to hear your opinion.

The second question is about the hilt and closely follows the first - does anyone have a photo of a similar dagger, so that my friend can see how the hilt is supposed to end? Currently, the missing part at the end is made of wax, but my friend would to have it properly restored.

Thank you,

Teodor
