Typical bosnia bichaq. They were made at the end of 19th century mainly as souvenirs for austro hungarian troops who invaded bosnia at the time. Main centers of production were Sarajevo and Foca. They vary much in size, from 40 cm blade leght to few cm. I saw also kinda trousse versions with spoons and forks in the same style of manufacture.

This is a very nice little piece with a marking associated somehow with the city of Focha (Foča)

Here is my little collection of those. Two of them have similar markings as yours.
