I looked at this dagger once more, and it assure me it is 19th century dagger and to be honest, this one isn't something special to me. One side is flat, just like someone was to lazy to made a full form, or it was made just for hanging on the wall. 17th century blades of this type where often openworked, this one is just "pointed" only to mark similarity. And details (take care look at busts on the sheath!) should be more precise to call it very good dagger, in my opinion.
Regards!
