Mexican (?) Dagger for Identification?

Hi all....here's another one that caught my eye at the wrong time.
The seller said he thought it was of Spanish origin, and I seem to remember seeing that these were Mexican (?), but can't remember for sure.
This one is 10" long, as opposed to 2"-3" minis which I believe is what stuck in my mind, with the hilt being pieces of dyed bone.
The seller specializes in African pieces, so neither of us could do more than speculate.....it was a fairly minor purchase, so no great loss, possibly best for steak tartar? **grin**
Am I correct or off by a mile?
Any information is appreciated, as always.
