Default Unknown dagger

This morning an friend of mine brought me this dagger which is absolutely unknown to me. I am sure that there is somebody who knows where this piece is originated and how old it might be. Thanks in advance

It's an Albacete dagger from Spain, very nice piece with all the cut outs at the blade.

Regards,
Detlef

It is a nice example. These are often mid-identified as plug bayonets on the ebay

Just for info:

There has been a special exposition in the Museo Cuchelleria de Albacete in 2009and a small catalogue has been published under the titel "Cuchillos de Abacete Ttesoros de tres Siglos". This book is still available at a price of 35.-€.
