Not sure of what I got, a gaucho knife or a Vendetta Corsa?

Hello bbjw,

I have several German made pre WWI Gaucho knives for comparison.
Although this knife shares some similarities compared to my other Gaucho knives there are some differences.
The main difference between this knife and my other Gaucho knives is the construction of this knife which is forged from one piece only.
Another difference is the nickel plating of the handle and the sheath.
On my other Gaucho knives the handles and sheath are either made of silver or of (silver plated) nickel silver.
I took a look into Del Facon al Bowie and Dagas de Plata by Abel A. Domenech but could not find a knife like this one .

Best regards
