Default Baskethilt Dagger for ID and discussion

Gentlemen: its been quite a while since I posted, but I have been enjoying the forum discussions as usual. Here a dagger that I acquired last year. The 13.25 inch blade is 1 inch wide with a central ridge running the length on both sides. The copper mesh wrapped grip is 3 1/4 inches capped with a 1 3/4 inch steel pommel. The quillons are 8 inches wide. No markings on the hilt or blade that I can see. I would love to learn something about the country and timeframe that this dagger was made. All comments and insights most welcome...Thanks!
