Another one I cann't place

This dagger looks old to me. The light spots on the wooden hilt are holes from the woodworm. The eyes are made from mother of pearl.

Any ideas?

I'm guessing Philippines:

I understand that problem lays in non-characteristic head-shape pommel on the handle. I believe someone will be better than me and will know exactly what we've got here.

The owner must have been very proud of his mustache and wanted to immortalize it...

Thanks Wolviex,

Those two have certainly similarities. I thought I remembered seeing something like this on the forum.

Ariel, I agree with you about the moustache. That was the first thing I noticed too.
