Default PI KATIPUNAN OFFICER'S DAGGER FOR SALE

Up for sale is my Katipunan dagger. This once belonged to a Filipino in one of the Katipunan groups around the turn of the century. The blade is very good and solid with a diamond cross section. It has a water buffalo horn hilt decorated in brass and (I did a little restoration on the brass on the hilt). The scabbard is leather sown up in the back with silver chape and finial (I tested both to be at least 90% silver). This was once on the forum here:

I am asking $400.00 USD.

If interested please reach me by email at: battara@hotmail.com

OOPS! A little clarity and correction:

This was made around the end of the 1800s and the price I'm asking is actually $350.00 (not 400.00).
