Small Dagger

Here is a small dagger from the Philippines that I just recieved from ebay. I'm thinking Spanish Colonial, at least in style but looking for more opinions on its actual age. Fittings look to be nickel or Greman silver and are all engraved. Grip is made of horn. Fittings and grip were cleaned with Ren wax and soft cloth while blade was cleaned with 0000 steal wool and oil. All in all a very nicely made piece. Sorry about the poor quality of the pictures I need to get a new camera.

Total length 9-3/4"
blade length 5-7/8"
blade at widest 3/4"
blade thickness 5/32"
hilt length 3-7/8"
