American dagger??

Does anyone have any ideas about this dagger? I think it may be American? Civil War?? The stamp on the forte seems to be a North American Indian. Thanks for any input. Ron

There is also a guy with a flag in the handle, right ?
Can't you post better (larger) pictures, Ron ?

I am afraid that's all I have. The dagger is in Italy.... Not mine. But, yes, there is a guy waving a flag. I tried to enhance the picture a little. Cheers, RON

Could it be a Katipunan flag? I can see there a sun with rays.

I like it.

Can you give dimensions?

The clothes and hat do not strike me as Filipino. Though a possibility, I think it more likely that it may be from another country that also used the sun face on their flag (many did at that time).
