Here is another Spanish Colonial dagger/short sword but I'm not really sure of where it is from. Could be from Mexico, Cuba, or the South Western United States. I don't believe it is from the Philippines because of the fittings. I think it is also late 19th or early 20th century. Sorry about the poor quality of the pictures I had to take the them inside today because it's raining outside. I wish that I could say that I took the pictures of the above dagger but I didn't.
 The grip is horn and the fittings and guard are steel like the one above. Because of the lighting the blade looks shiny but it really looks like the above dagger. Sorry but no sheath for this one. Comments and help are always welcome. Total length 21-1/2" Blade length 16-13/16" Blade width at widest 1-1/8" Hilt length 4-5/16" Last edited by Robert Coleman; 21st October 2006 at 08:24 PM. |
