Hi Rick,
I guess my original post wasn't that clear. Sorry about that. I know the dagger is from the Philippines and I would guess late 19th or early 20th century. What I was wondering about was the style of the guard and pommel as I have never seen them made this heavy before on this type of dagger. I was hoping that one of the forum members might have or may have seen other examples with this heavy style of guard.
