I am not saying it is the case in this example but I have seen many Philippine pieces over the years that have had CS and also CSA stamped into the blade in an obvious attempt to associate the piece with the American Civil War. I even once ran across a nice ivory hilted khyber knife with a CS stamped into the blade!
