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).

Whatever is stamped beneath the figure might be a good indicator of origin.

Hi,
I would say the mark on the blade is that of James Burnand & Sons of Sheffield, England. According to Geoffrey Tweedale Tweedale's Directory of Sheffield Cutlery Manufacturers 1740 - 2010 Burnand was in business from 1820 to 1920 and started making Bowie knives in the 1850s. Their trade mark was that of an Indian above the motto Self-Defence. Best regards, Helge |
