Well, to repeat myself over and over again (
) here is what I said in another post:
"On the Katipunan question, the sun with a face is a definite Katipunan emblem and was in fact incorporated later into the Malolos flag when the government as set up around latge 1899. It is a form of Malay sun and the rays in this case represent the 8 original provinces that revolted this last time against the Spanish. Later some of the Visayas revolted, like Bohol island, Negros, etc."
And then about yours specifically:
"Bill - yours is the best example I have ever seen (grumble,grumble,envy,envy
). I would add that it may have belonged to a general."
I love the silver mounts.
