Letter Opener? Souvenir?

[pjadams]

My dd found this at a local Goodwill type store. We can read Sterling on the silver "blade" which is not sharp. It also says "Hecho en Mexico" and a makers mark that is a stylized "M" with a damaged mark that could be "O", "Q" or "G". The stone handle looks like jade carved crudely in the possible likeness of an Aztec priest. Can anyone identify it? Thanks!

Here's a very similiar one from eBay. Seems you already have it pretty well pegged. The infromation on the for sale site said "from the 40,s and a buy it now for about 40 bucks".

My dd thinks hers would not be considered the same because the carving is more crude. What do you think?
