Dagger ID Needed

My thanks to everyone who have responded to this thread so far. I was hoping that this might be from the Philippines. The scabbard end as well as the grip as stated do have a distinct Philippine flair to them but my memory (not being what it was just a few years ago) tends to lead me on flights of fancy at times so I wanted some opinions before making any rash statements on its possible origin. I have sent in requests to a few people who collect thimbles in hopes of getting an idea of their age and origin as suggested by Gene. Further opinions or comments on this dagger would be greatly appreciated. Thank you all again.
