Northern Philippine dagger

Hi Steve,

Very nice puppy! I would say that it was done in the 1930s-40s. The bird is an eagle on the guard and was being ussed after the Americans "pacified" the Philippines. Nice condition too. The hilt form is in a horses hoof.

Thank you for sharing.

Thanks Lew for the comments.

And thank you Jose for the dating. I would have been happy with 1950s, but I've VERY happy with pre WWII.
