New Mystery Dagger

Jose, I was hoping that you would say Philippines even though the blade style is close to more that a few of the Mexican (scorpion tip) bowies that I have seen. As for the metal sheath, I am hoping that it turns out to be old brass instead of the tin I was told it was. It would definitely be a lot easier to repair the tip if it turned out to be brass. The grip I was also told was wood, but most of the knives and swords I acquire are usually described as having wooden hilts when in fact they are horn. We will see when it arrives.

Best,
Robert
