Hi i got this dagger from Philippines in Bulacan province area in a old man, and it is made from Brass, bronze or copper? ( don't know the exact material) but not iron, it is also not attracted to magnets.
The handle in made from bone (unknown if animal or human), it had been damage in some parts of handle.

Look like the dagger ages from 19th century to early 20th century... not sure whether it is use by Katipunan or tribal or Spiritual / ceremonial events..
