A tenegre

It's been a while since my last acquisition, so I picked up this tenegre from the bay.

22" blade with a nice clip, sort of looks laminated but we'll see. The hilt has lost its nose unfortunately, but it looks like it was a small one and might not be too hard to replace.
A similar example was identified in the past as dating from around the 1920s, would still be a fair assessment? Perhaps closer to WWII?

I like these PI short swords, they seem just perfect all-purpose side-arms.
