Laminated Luzon Daga

Grabbed this one off eBay. Looks to be a laminated Luzon dagger from the Revolution/Phil-Am war era. The blade is well made, straight, and uniform. The brass fittings have a nice feel, made from a thick heavy solid piece of brass. Handle is horn with pretty good checkering. Love the way these older knives are, solid feel and well balanced...this one isn't super meticulous detailed, but it has that feel and touch of being made by someone well experienced.
Let me know what you all think? Any more suggestions, info, or opinions will be appreciated.
