Vintage Philippines/Indonesian Dagger.

In nice condition with the blade being hand forged and beaten into shape, cleaned numerous times but very sharp and pointed. The hard wood handle has lovely patina and minor crack where the tang enters. At the moment the blade will come out,paper has been used to hold the tang in place, i have not tried to glue etc as i will leave this up to the new owner. The two piece wooden scabbard, made out of the same material as the handle is in nice condition and might well have been glued near the top at some point, both wooden dowels still in place keeping both parts together. I have spent a lengthy time checking the internet for the exact area where this dagger was manufacture but it looks like its down to you now. Philippines or Indonesia if i remember as i purchased a collection of ethnic blades years ago from a Belgium collector who only collected weapons from certain areas where Belgium's where based.
