Odd Kris

Can anyone provide information on origin, age, etc, of this dagger?
Its blade is 9,75 inches long. I can't recall where i've seen this style of guard. The hilt appears to horn-like. |
Archer:
Looks Philippine to me, but not Moro. The combination of brass and horn (?) on the hilt and the "Spanish kris" (flambé) style of blade suggest a northern or perhaps central Philippines origin. The loop for the forefinger is definitely a European trait. As to age, hard to say. General condition would fit mid-20th C., perhaps a little earlier. Ian |
