Well, it ain't Greek .
I'll guess that the language is Spanish judging from the blade profile . Is the handle worn silver plating; or just plain brass ? |

As a guess, I think this knife may be French. The first word of the engraved inscription could be 'Messrs' (which could be French or English).
 The style of writing looks somehow French to me, reminds me of the engraved writing on the spine of Gras bayonets from 1879 etc. ....I have no idea really !
