I would definitely say Spanish. “Navaja” is Spanish for pocket knife. Could possible be Portuguese too.

I think you have it pegged. Navaja, most likely Spanish. Lots of different makers made the pattern. I have no idea how to tell the age. ::shrug:: Pictures are dark and maybe out of focus but I'm guessing maybe horn handles.
