French dagger for comment

Hello dear members,

have recently purchased this French dagger, blade, guard and scabbard is very similar to the so called "dague de pute" but the handle is very similar to the German "nicker" daggers, a "coup de grace". So what it is? A "dague de pute" or a hunting dagger?
It is 24 cm long inside the scabbard and only a little bit shorter without with a blade from 11,5 cm. The weight is 128 gram. The last picture show it together with one of my Corsican Vendetta daggers.
A similar piece was once shown here but with missing ferrule and guard, see here: http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showth...=french+dagger
All comments are very welcome!
