Both pieces share a common type of pommel (and of the hilt, in a way) that slightly resembles that of a gladius. Maybe this type of daggers originated from an area closer to ancient Roman military camps where Roman weapons could have been seen by manufacturers?

Thank you for your comments. Does anyone know which kind of scabbard was used for this particular type of dagger?
