I think that Battara has a point. Perhaps this dagger did belong to a general, maybe General Leandro Fullon?

I like his quote, "Soldiers: be always prudent, respectful and loving to the country in all your acts, and be an example of morality, subordination, discipline and obedience to your superiors, and avoid everything which may defame your conduct, fame and good military reputation, for if you do so you will be blessed and applauded by cultured people, the present and future generations.
--Leandro Fullon y Locsin, Letter to Field and Line Officers, Non-commissioned
Officers and Soldiers, 2 June 1900 [original in Spanish L.S. P.I.R. 977.3]
Can anybbody tell me what the "Pral" means?
And BTW this dagger is not for sale. I have a recipient in mind to whom it will be bequeathed.
