Tebu Dagger?
This just ended on ebay. Pictures are really bad. Any information or comments are welcome.

Hi Lew,
Thanks for your answer as to its being Tebu. I will post better pictures after it arrives and is cleaned a bit. Would you hazard a guess as to age? Thanks again. Robert |

I hope this means you'll be selling your beautiful Philippine daggers to collect African from now on. (just kidding )

Hi Steve,
I think I'll keep my Philippine collection for a while (a very LONG while). I just saw this and placed a bid because I've always liked the shape of this type of dagger. Still looking for Spanish influenced Philippine pieces so if your interested in getting rid of any of yours I promise to give them a good home. Robert |

First you paid way too much for that dagger . As for it's age I would guess 1940s-50s it's hard to tell by those pics on ebay. Lew |

Lew,
Yea, I know it was kind of a high price to pay but I wanted this one real bad. I will post better pictures when it arrives. Thanks for the time frame. Robert |
