Yes, I agree too, thanks Mr. Arzi.

I was wondering however if that montenegro national knife had some true predecessors...

Well, if this is the case, the dagger in question is indeed Balkan.
New or old?

I think the differentiating point here is the crossguard of the hilt. The Lebanese examples have a very consistant appearance whereas the ebay item and the new production knife do not have that crossguard...so are more likely related. As to new or old?????
