Italian (Ligurian?) dagger for comment
Not so long ago I was able to add this dagger to my collection, in this thread: http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showth...light=ligurian were shown similar daggers so I think that it could be a Ligurian dagger. It's 33 cm (13") long with a blade from 20,6 cm (8-1/8"). Am I correct? Any age guess? All other comments are very welcome.

I think you have an Italian dagger from the Ligurian type. Having come up at Genova this type of dagger spread over the Ligurian coast in the 17th and 18th century via Southern France to Spain and the Spanish isles. Some copies out of a catalogue of Hermann Historica Munic may help to identify your piece
