Ivory Fist Dagger - Katipunan?
Greetings Folks!
This dagger ended a while back. The hilt is ivory, and I think elephant, not walrus as stated by the auctioneers. All the metal mounts seem to be brass. However the bottom chape could be silver. I am wondering if this is Philippine, especially from the Katipunan era. The only thing is that the tang does not seem to go all the way through but is pinned through. Your thoughts? |
