Help on Identifying this Dagger

I think that it's a better-than-average blade. Most of those daggers have an elliptical blade with a very simple profile; This has very well-made fullers, a characteristic that I have not seen except in finer blades. The shape is also very functional and extremely good.

Better photos would help but I believe you are giving a little too much credit to the blade.

The blade appears to be elliptical and the fullers are very easy to produce. Not to mention the punched stars.

Probably the blade is also of very low carbon steel so very soft and easy to machine.
