This is another post that I thought I'd bring back up to see if there are any more thoughts as to this daggers country of origin. The brass fittings have a very well done lead solder seem. I think it is very possibly Philippine because of this and the style of the carving but would like to know what the experts think. Here are a few new pictures that will hopefully help in it's identification. There is some engraving on the ferrel behind the guard that can be seen in some of the pictures. Too bad that there was no sheath with this when I found it. I have one that fits it very well but did not show it as it could be very misleading when trying to identify the daggers country of origin.
