Fine engraved full steel knife - Italian?

Gonzoadler · 29th December 2021, 11:41 AM

Thank you guys, I looked in the internet for mexican knives which are similar to my piece. There are some knives with eagle heads on the handle or an eagle with a snake (and maybe a cactus) as motif on the blade. But in most cases they are bowie-knife-like, missing fine engravings (19th century examples sometimes have a good quality etching) and/or made with other techniques. For example, I didn't find any full steel pieces.
Most mexican knives of any age are of lower quality and don't look very similar to my piece. So it is a bit doubtful for me if it is mexican. Maybe somebody have a picture of a more or less similar piece or other suggestions?
