American dagger??
 

Does anyone have any ideas about this dagger? I think it may be American? Civil War?? The stamp on the forte seems to be a North American Indian. Thanks for any input. Ron

There is also a guy with a flag in the handle, right ?
Can't you post better (larger) pictures, Ron ?

I am afraid that's all I have. The dagger is in Italy.... Not mine. But, yes, there is a guy waving a flag. I tried to enhance the picture a little. Cheers, RON

Could it be a Katipunan flag? I can see there a sun with rays.

I like it.

Can you give dimensions?

The clothes and hat do not strike me as Filipino. Though a possibility, I think it more likely that it may be from another country that also used the sun face on their flag (many did at that time).

Whatever is stamped beneath the figure might be a good indicator of origin.

Hi,

I would say the mark on the blade is that of

James Burnand & Sons

of Sheffield, England.

According to Geoffrey Tweedale

Tweedale's Directory of Sheffield Cutlery Manufacturers 1740 - 2010

Burnand was in business from 1820 to 1920 and started making Bowie knives in the 1850s.
Their trade mark was that of an Indian above the motto Self-Defence.

Best regards, Helge
