Hi Bill,
Good point. People from the hills in Burma use a cane with a metal spike for the same thing. As mentioned earlier the Philippines had entered my mind. The scabbard is quite long and the whole thing is constructed in such a way that it could function very well as a walking stick especially if you are no taller than 5' 6". An identity on the blade would be really helpful. It does look in real life earlier than 1930s. Is the blade Spanish or American? there is the possibility that the blade might even be Japanese? If the Philippine origin is so. Tim
