Help with short sword/dagger age and origin

Was wondering if anyone knows what kind of dagger this is and where it may be from. Any insight on age would also be helpful. Thanks in advance

l believe this is a fantasy item, based on the Fairbairn-Sykes military dagger; likely imported, no more than 20 years old. That big loop is odd. Any marks on the blade?

I cannot find any marks on the blade. Here is a pic of the other side. Thank you for the response!!

This is a modern reproduction of a 16th century parrying dagger, or left-hand dagger, also known as a main-gauche.  Much like this one. The loop is a finger-guard.
