Default Curious Bichaq Like Flyssa

I was watching a little flyssa knife that finished on eBay during the weekend, item # 160455191672. I am attaching the pictures to this thread.

To me, it looks exactly as a Balkan knife from the early 19th century, in terms of blade and hilt shape. Of course, there is no doubt that this is North African work.

There were ties between North Africa and the Western Balkans, which Dr. Elgood describes in his latest book, but this particular dagger does not strike me as being from the 19th century, it looks more recent to me.

What are your comments?

Regards,
Teodor
