Katipunan dagger just ended on Ebay. Brass blade?

It is indeed rare to find weapons that could be positively attributed to the Katipunan movement. Furthermore, European daggers are often mislabeled as Katipunan relic. Just because it is similar in appearance, it's not necessarily a Katipunan sword or dagger. Instead of guessing, one should look for definite Katipunan marks or symbols before labeling such weapon as "Katipunan".
Whoever won that bid is indeed lucky. We just hope the winner does post some close ups since we rarely see something of this importance/magnitude. Congratulations once again.
