Default Dagger For Comments

Well folks, here is yet another Spanish influenced dagger from the Philippines in the style that I like so much. Late 19th or early 20th century. The wooden sheath is covered with an unknown material and has metal at the throat and tip. The guard and grip fittings are steel. The grip itself appears to be either horn, bone or ? I have not received this yet so I'm not really sure of the grip material. The triangular blade seems to be in fair condition with oxidation and possibly some pitting. It is definitely in need of a good cleaning. The dagger has a total length of 13-3/4". The blade is 9-1/2" in length, 1-1/4" in width and the hilt is 4-1/4". The sheath itself measures 10". Has anyone seen (for lack of a better term) the red pom-pom type decoration that is on this sheath before?
