Default Left hand dagger

Dear All,

I recently got this dagger. It is a river finding and in corresponding condition. It is covered by a very thick patina/magnetite surface. I would very much appreciate your opinions about that piece.
Sorry for the weak images. IŽll reach in better ones at weekend.

very nice parrying dagger of the so-called bolognese type. (cf Leonid Tarassuk, some notes on parrying daggers and poniards, metropolian museum journal 1978)

north of italy around 1550.
it is known where it was found?

best,
