Great find Carlos!!
 We definitely need to get envy added to the smiles selection. Yes, I would agree that it is Ilocano and probably from the late 19th to early 20th century. The scabbard looks to be covered in thin pieces of water buffalo horn. I was lucky enough to find a couple of these daggers but non with a blade of this length. My congratulations on this wonderful addition to your collection.Robert P.S. If you ever get tired of looking at this please keep me in mind.

Nice piece. I think the scabbard is covered in turtle shell instead of horn. Better closeups would be helpful.

Great find!
Agreed with Battara, the scales are tortoise shells. |
