Just won this dagger on Ebay. I wanted it badly, and was fortunate. What caught my eye first were the symbols on the scabbard. The face in the sun was a common symbol of the Katipunan. Also the patina of the wood looks very nice, as does the tarnish on the (I hope) silver fittings. A few questions for my friends:
How common is it to have a PI dagger without a guard? Do you think that this one is original, or the shield on the scabbard added later? What is the proper pronunciation for Katipunan? All thoughts, speculation, information, and opinions appreciated! ![]() Steve ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Last edited by Ferguson; 3rd April 2009 at 07:11 PM. Reason: Changed title |
