Hello Drac2k,

congrats for this great catch! I special like the copper bladed dagger and the long sword, I think it's from Bicol.

Best regards,
Detlef

nothing i can add to what everyone else said.
The Panay/Negros provenance is spot on. you could see it on some of the scabbard designs.

Wow Robert, what a great collection of copper blade knives;now I know why I can't find any.........you have them all.Once again gentlemen thank you for all of the compliments and information!
I think it is interesting how one of the knives has an adaptation of a frog for Western wear or that is how it looks to me.

I've seen this frquently by knives and daggers from Luzon.

Was this done for Westerners or was this for local wear?The frog would accommodate a 2" belt and I have seen this type of lanyard on the bottom of the scabbard on U.S. WW2 military bayonets.

I only can guess and think for both, Westerners and locals.
