Here are a few auction photos (i will post better ones after it arrives) of another brass bladed Philippine dagger I just picked up. Rick posted an almost identical one some time ago that Is located here; http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showth...ht=brass+blade
As I do not know any of the measurements of Rick's example and I am hoping that he will see this and post them here. My example is 17 inches overall with a 12 inch blade and a 5 inch water buffalo horn hilt. I believe both Rick's example and mine come from the Batangas area and though they can easily be used to defend oneself with (like the other brass bladed daggers I have posted) I believe these to be mostly talismanic or ceremonial in purpose. Comments or information on either of these daggers would be greatly appreciated. Best, Robert |
