Tunisian? dagger.

Hello everyone,

I recently acquired this lovely dagger with bone handle,
I think it's North African, possibly Tunisian?
Does.anyone know the hallmark ?
Maghreb, Spanish and ottoman influence I fînd.
For the date, I believe it's 1309, which would place it in 1891 or 1892.
I would be very grateful if you could help me pinpoint its exact origin.

Best regards

Hello,
Years ago, I saw an almost identical dagger at a flea market in Ankara. Therefore, I believe it comes from the region of Anatolia (or possibly from the Aegean region, considering the floral motif...).
