Northwest Africa
The dots and cross hatch motif is found in N. Africa. To my eye, the hilt and blade do not "go together" which means perhaps a custom made item or a happy marriage of hilt and steel later. The reverse quillions are hard to see well in the photos but they show European influence -- maybe Italy or Spain. The blade of the dagger seems Italian to me.
 Good luck! Dave A. |
