Luzon Dagger
The latest addition to my collection. Not as rare by any means as a lot of the pieces being shown recently on the forum but this crossover of styles is what interests me the most. Most likely from Luzon. Late 19th or early 20th century. The total length of this is 13 inches. Horn hilt with some of the original wire and a diamond cross-section blade. Guard and fittings are brass while the dagger shows Spanish influence like most of the pieces that I collect. I have an original scabbard that I picked up some time ago that I am hoping will fit this when it arrives. This is the only decent picture that I have at this time. Comments are always welcome.
