Hi Kronckew,
Thank you for your comments and observations, very interesting. I originally thought that it had a Balkan look about it but as you observed the belt hook is a European feature. I really don't know what to make of it. It appears to be well made and the scabbard is wood covered in green leather, which I omitted to mention. Also the overall length is 15 ins having a 10 ins long blade x 1.3125 ins wide. The other thing that I cannot judge is its age.
Regards
Miguel
