the knife looks the typical type of mexican bowie , not the scorpion tip mexican form but the bowies mimicking the english bowies of the era (which were mimicking the mexican scorpion tip in turn )
id say mexican but there is the heavy round guard, everything else says mexican , but the guards typically on mexican knives have a established for and bowies with brass guards typically have case guards with one ball at either side, although that being said its a minor discrepancy
