I recently acquired this old luzon dagger and restored it. I am not sure if it is antique. The hilt is made of carabao horn and contains aluminum inlays. The scabbard is composed of two materials. On the front side it is carabao horn and the back side is made of wood. The scabbard also contains aluminum inlays. The etched the blade and it seems to be made of monosteel.

Nice piece and good TLC job. Around WWII?

thank you. Like you, I was thinking maybe it was from WWII era. Perhaps other members have some input also.
