Silver is so pretty when it is polished - just like God intended. :D

And on the blade, as I said I didn't think so, but just in case. Does not diminish the historical or monetary value in any case.

The face did not appear on any flag until the Tejeros Convention(March 22, 1897). The kicker is there exist a Katipunan medallion that belonged to Bonifacio, and it also has a sunface with 8 rays....but these early sunface symbols(on flags, stamps, blades, medals, etc...) are extremely rare of the earlier Bonifacio Katipunan days(1892-1896).

But for this dagger I would lean more towards the Tejeros Convention and 1st Republic...simply because these nicer custom made daggers were more common of that time frame, and not so much from the earlier Katipunan days.
I agree and below is a facsimile of the sun face flag adopted at that convention. It existed less than a year in 1897.
