I also agree, both are from Luzon and date from the late 1800's to early 1900's. My congratulation to you for winning these very nice items. I especially like the sword with the clenched fist horn hilt. Was it an ebay item? If so I need to start spending more time looking than I have been lately.
Best, Robert |

Very nice pieces!
The workmanship in my opinion does indeed look Philippine. |

Definitely 1st Philippine Republic dagger
I have a 1st Philippine Republic dagger whose scabbard looks very similar to yours. The brass on my scabbard has the seal of the First Republic (mythical sun and 3 stars), but otherwise looks very similar to yours. Nice pieces!

Very ,very nice dagger, you are right and I can see that there is a ball missing on the end of my scabbard .The seal on your dagger and the scroll work make yours especially nice !
