Odd WWII US/T'boli/Maguindanao Dagger

Greetings folks,

I just got this off eBay. It looks like a WWII US blade with a T'boli cast brass custom hilt, a Maguindanao custom made scabbard out of wood and white metal (I tested the metal), and rubber insulated wire wrap (spray painted gold) around the mid-section.

Interesting piece with cultural crossovers (what do you think Charles?). The US serviceman must have been stationed on Mindinao during WWII.

Enjoy.
