I have found written evidence of production of blades in Brazil.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sorocaban_knife I seem to remember that you are a polyglot. The references in the bibliography may be of some help. Also check out the sections in the article on
History and
enterçado production. I wonder if the brass is mimicking this or is hiding a weld of steel to iron. Search the word Sorocaba on the forum that should give you some leads as well. Now where this particular blade was produced is beyond my knowledge, sorry. We will learn together. The dress to me seems Brazilian or from the southeast of Sud America.

PS I forgot to tell you what a pretty piece that is!
