Hello Teodor, Geoff and Eftihis,

Thank you very much for comment!

So it's most probably not Bulgarian or Greece but could be from the Black Sea area which was my first guess also!
My hope is that Sfenoid chime in and confirm it.

Thank you again and best regards,
Detlef

Thank you Stefan! I will show it by time with some other 19th century Faca de Ponta.

Reminds me of the Roach belly trade knives popular in the18c N. Americas. It is naturally, not from there - i'd go along with Turkish asia minor. Nice knife. (In this context, the 'Roach' is a rounded belly fish, not the insect.)
