Dagger for ID

THAT WOULD EXPLAIN THE HANDLE AS IT DOES LOOK LIKE PHILIPPINE WORK MORE THAN INDIA. WEAPONS DO INDEED GET AROUND FOR VARIOUS REASONS, WE CAN PROBABLY BLAME A LOT OF THE DIFFUSION TO UNLIKELY PLACES ON US COLLECTORS. SOMEONE IN THE FUTURE MAY WONDER WHY AND HOW THESE WEAPONS FROM EVERYWHERE ENDED UP IN OKLAHOMA.

I was informed by an expert that the dagger is likely to be Bagobo (Mindanao, Philippines).

Sounds possible to me. The ferrule behind the guard is similar to ones I have seen on Bagabo kampilans I will try and find a pic for comparison.
