Rob,

I feel confident that we will find Philippine examples with guards that are pre-WWII, and even pre-1900, that meet the Bowie knife characteristics you defined.

As a starter, you will find small examples with guards in this thread: http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showthread.php?t=18769

I'll keep looking.
