and could the "6th" mean 6th cavalry? they seem to have been active in the philippines around that time.

I am not sure. It could be possible as my family are "Horse" people. My dad is a retired veteranarian. Not sure about his dad though. I will have to ask him.

Any idea of a value? I would like to get some insurance on some items but I need an approx. # as I have to give an itemized list to the agent.

Sorry, value is not discussed here (part of the rules

)

For insurance purposes you'd need a written appraisal .

They are very nice pieces all; Jose, does the dagger look Katipunan to you ?

The little Gunong is quite lovely; I'll bet Steve lusts in his heart for it .

It's hard to say - if it is PI, then it could be of that time frame of the PI revolution or a little later - need to see more pictures.

Thanks for the input.
I will take some better pics tomorrow and post them showing some better detail.
I spoke to my dad and he said these are exactly how he remembers them and is as recieved from his father. He does not believ his dad sanded the blades but he was known for taking phenominal care of his stuff.
If value is not discussed here(Sorry, didnt know) how would I go about ascertaining a viable $ amount?
Thank You

The kris looks Maranao with an anting-anting cloth. Nice to have the attribution and history.

The wavy little knife next to is looks like a gunong. Any close ups of that? Mounts on it and the scabbard look like tarnished silver.

The other knife puzzles me, it could be Northern Luzon, but not seen one like this before. Leather scabbard goes to a Northern Luzon sword. Knife hiit looks to be horn and then brass mounts.

Also, the kris looks like it was cleaned (I see light sand paper scratch marks).

Hope this is a start and thank you for posting this. Please post any other goodies.....
