Well folks it looks like another ebay seller has done it again. Take a look at the description, this guy can really spin a tale!! http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...=STRK:MEWAX:IT I bet someone is going to be really unhappy when they find out where their Johnnie Reb dagger is actually from.

It looks like you can make a bit of a killing in the Civil War market with Filipino knives....

Yup. I have seen tons of PI daggers sold as either Spanish or Confederate.

I've explained to him what it is & made him good offers but he's convinced it's early Klan & wants several thousand. |

The webbing hanger must be WW 2 period, not ? Nice big bold looking dagger by the way, I can imagine that you buy the civil war story if you are not into Philipine stuff ![]() |

Education costs money . ![]() It's a nice Philippine dagger, but I don't think any of us want to see these go for so much . At least until we have stopped collecting . ![]() ![]() |

Rick, You are right about it being a nice knife and about prices AFTER we quit collecting

Hello Gene,
Yes these show a very strong Spanish influence in their overall design. The triangular blade on my example is 1/4 inch thick at the guard. Like I said earlier, I would loved to have added the one from the auction to my collection. Robert |
