    i'd think early 1900's from the MOP handle.....and the round snap in closure make's me think french or italian.
    can I see that closure better >>>
    Have you found any marks ...at all.???

I really do feel it is older and although I could find no maker marks I think @komokwa is correct

    oh, it's not new , fer sure.....& if u can clean up the blade....maybe a mark will show itself..?
    & thank you !!!

    a little TLC..some oil...I think you could bring it back to life !
    the blade looks like it was well used...& a little abused..
