It looks like the blade decoration had a Greek motif and Greek lettering. I can see a delta pretty clearly.

Interesting. I wonder how it ended up in Tunis.

That's a history of the units action in Europe, which started in France and ended in Austria. This little blade was carried through quite a bit of heavy front line action which must have reduced it to its current state.
