Hi Detlef,
Nice clipped-point knife with small ricasso. I suspect this is from the Spanish Colonial period, maybe last quarter of 19th C. Most likely from Luzon, with the full-length tang peined over a small ball pommel. Probably made locally, in or around Manila. I don't see any distinguishing features that would pinpoint its site of manufacture more precisely. Maybe some of our Filipino members can give you a more accurate answer.
Nice knife. Congratulations!
Regards, Ian.
