Hello ollar, first let me welcome you to the forum and wish you a Happy New Year too!

You have an interesting dagger here to show. ALPINA is a known mark of the Hans KOLPING works and the bierstein appearing in both marks is an analogousness. Obviously the blade was only mmarked and not produced by KOLPING/ALPINA as we see the well known cross mark (this firm did produce blades for several firms) on the tang. Would you -please- show more and better pics of the dedication etching?
Regards,
