I agree that the blade looks Filipino, but i have never seen a sheath like that from that area so i am hesitant. Definitely has that Spanish influence, but maybe from a different colony. :shrug:
Beautiful dagger regardless of origin. :)

You could very easily replace the missing flower on the handle.

Here is a close up photo of a sheath of that time. This one in particular belonged to Gen Thomas Mascardo. Sheath looks similar to me. :D

If this is indeed PI, then the blade would indicate Ilocano origins or influence.
