Fascinating example!!!
This looks like a kinds of knives and edged weapons from Southern Mexico, Oaxaca in particular, where such weapons have long been produced. The scabbard etc. are notably similar to known examples.
The term 'Bowie' is of course collectively used to describe large frontier knives from 19th century America which gained popularity accordingly into Mexico.
Extremely nice one!!!!
