Up for sale is an unusual dagger. I assume that it is of WWII vintage, but could be a little earlier. The blade is Euro-American made. However, the hilt is T’boli made, cast and chased in brass/bronze with a wooden pommel. But the scabbard is wood covered in white metal, made by a Maguindanao artisan. The cental section seems to be made of cord.
length: 13.75 inches overall
Price: $180
A truly unique item of mixed heritage.
