What about serrated edge, serrated back, bone handle and the "catch"?
The last two might have been personal modifications, but the blade seems to be born that way. |

The 1907 came with the catch (you can see it in the photo if you look closely). The sawback and the bone handle seem to be personal modifications. Notice that the sawback is uneven; which never would have been made that way by the FAB Nacional de Toledo. The handle pins are also modern looking.
