There were many Mexicans that were brouht over by the Spanish during the early 1800s plus the Mexican air force was in the Philippines in 1944 to help bomb the Japanese. So it is possible that this dagger could have a Mexican flare to it? I still think it's Philippine the scabbard is not of the same style or construction as the Mexican scabbards from the 1930-40s.
