Dagger from a newbie

VANDOO · 8th February 2011, 02:52 AM

WELCOME TO THE FORUM

IT WOULD APPEAR SOMEONE WAS PLANNING TO REPLACE THE OLD HANDLE BUT DIDN'T GET AROUND TO IT. THE GOOD THING IS ALL THE PARTS ARE THERE AND WITH A LITTLE MEASURING YOU CAN FIT THE HANDLE TO THE TWO METAL PARTS JUST LIKE THE ORIGINAL. WATER BUFFALOW HORN WOULD BE NICE AND A SUITABLE PIECE OF IT SHOULD BE FOUND EASY ENOUGH. GOOD LUCK

Hi, Guys, it's great to be here. Thank you for the warm welcome and swift replies. Silly me for asking about the handle replacement before its origins.

. I'm really dying for an I.D.!!! Here is a reverse color close-up of the "K". Any more information would be greaatt!!!! Thanks again

Hi Vantique,

I suspected it was Philippine, but Robert and Jose have confirmed and Robert has provided an example of what it would look like with the handle.
It might be an idea to post a wanted ad in the swap section as I'm sure someone will have a section of black horn that you could modify to suit.
Then follow Roberts example as a guide.
Nice dagger BTW.

Best
Gene
