It looks like turkish. But your photos are not good enough to say if it is recent or ottoman piece.

With the green patina in places I would say use of brass or white brass. Possibly some silver filigree, but I have my doubts. May be silver wash on brass.

Ditto that, but it doesn't address age or anything, mind you; I'm with Yannis; any chance of a better close-up (they're already better photos than I can make....)

This is definitely a dagger from Montenegro, i am quite sure about it, the hilt is typical.
