Sure Robert.

There are a couple of older threads you may want to check out. These still have their pictures intact.

The style of your knife is similar to those emerging from Albacete in Spain during the mid- to late-19th C. Marc is our resident authority on this subject and provided insights into this style in one of those threads. It was a popular style and seems to have spread widely through the Spanish Colonial Empire. Whether the style originated in Albacete is debatable, but there appears to have been many knives from that region in the style.
