Default Knife with interesting markings - Ebay

Ended this morning. I lost out, hopefully to one of my friends here.

What do you think? Interesting looking knife.

Wow! Very nice. Wish you won this one. Excellent sunface on the blade and scabbard. Not to many you see of these.

The sun and triangle symbol was a common enough even being used on stamps, see picture below. Like Rick I'm interested in the trumpet emblem with the 3 in it. As of yet I have not been able to find any information on this particular emblem but I'm still looking. I have been told though that it is not Filipino in origin.

Now on the subject of the triangle, this stamp shows the emblem of the 1st PI Republic. I think the blade is authentic, but the rest altered?
