Interesting addition to your collection. You have a good eye for interesting items.
Would like to see your Luzon dagger collection in a group picture. Regards, Detlef |

When you clean up this new find, I would love to see close ups of the distal end cap with the designs on it..........

Detlef, I'll see what I can do.
Jose, I'll try to post a close-up of the end cap tomorrow. Regards, Robert |

Thank you Robert. Nice to see the details. Different plant motif than I am used to seeing.

Hello Jose, It is quite different from what I have seen too. I think it is a piece that was re-purposed off of some other item possibly a chair leg or some other piece of furniture. It reminds me of one of the other daggers I have (picture below) where thimbles were used for the ferrule and end-cap. Like the old saying goes, Waste not want not.
 Regards, Robert |

tang
Hi Robert,
The tang, is it peened or threaded? I asked the end looks like it would unscrew from the images. Thanks Gavin |
