Bought this Navaja recently, (but awaiting arrival). Found a very similar one on the web, but it is larger, (mine is 15'' fully open), and has an engraved blade. The description of the similar Navaja is as follows,

Antique Spanish Navaja dated mid 19th C, realised in Santa Cruz De Mudela. Handle is wood covered in brass with engraved pattern and decorative holes.
It measures 21 5/8 ‘’ fully open.

Would I be right in thinking that the date and origin of my Navaja is the same? Any info would be greatly appreciated, thankyou
