Help With Dagger ID
Hi everyone!
I had this posted at SFI but didn't get much response so I thought I'd try here for help. This is the newest addition to my collection. Blade length is 11-5/8 inches Grip is 4-1/4 inches Blade is 1/4 inch thick and 1-1/2 inches wide at the guard. The blade appears to be of twisted composite construction. Both edges of the blade are sharpened from the tip to the guard. Very heavily bladed, a serious weapon. I believe this dagger is from the Philippines about the end of the 1800s. If anyone has any ideas or comments on the age or origins of this piece please post them. Thanks. Last edited by Robert Coleman; 3rd February 2005 at 04:39 AM. |
