Possible Katipunan Era Dagger

I helped the seller identify this piece for the same reasons you mention. Even years after the Philippine-American War, say in WWII. The tiangle was important and even used by Filipino guerillas in their 3 man fighting teams in the jungle.

Anyway congratulations!

Hello Jose, and thank you for your thoughts on this. I have one more question for you "or anyone else that would like to hazard an opinion" on this dagger. What would be your thoughts on its age? I would place it in the late 19th century but, I like everyone else I always hope the items that I collect are the older examples.

Thank you again.

Regards,
Robert

Well it is not technically Katipunan but if our thoughts are true it would be 1st Philippine Republic and would date to the turn of the 20th century, say 1899-1901.
