The dagger most likely belonged to a Katipunan member. It may look European, but most likely was made in the Philippines in the European style. I've seen several Katipunan daggers that you would swear were made in Europe only to notice that the hilts were made of carabao horn, kamagong, or narra.
As for the bolo, it's a nice old example...you know it's old since it has a wooden scabbard. Pre-WWII?...definately.
