A little navaja

A bit damaged. The handle plates are bull white and rose horn. The brass parts are the real basic handcraft, the file work is pretty rough. The 8 cms. blade is missing the tip, and the maker's mark was hard to identify.Forton's was the key: Valero Jun from Zaragoza, XIX century. However and again according to this book's illustrations, this shape could be French or, in the least, Franco Spanish. I wonder what the experts think about that ... Chris ?
Thanks
