CONGRATULATIONS AND THANKS FOR SHOWING THIS EXCELLENT EXAMPLE.
 THE WORKMANSHIP IS NOT TOO FANCY AND LOOKS LIKE A KNIFE MADE FOR POSSIBLE USE NOT JUST FOR SHOW. THE WORK ON THE HORN GRIPS IS EXCEPTIONAL PERHAPS A CUSTOM KNIFE MADE TO ORDER OR THE MAKER WAS JUST SHOWING OFF HIS SKILL. THE HISTORY OF THE DESIGN IS ALSO INTERESTING DID THIS PHILIPPINE LEADER GIVE PRESENTATION ITEMS TO HIS GENERALS AND SUCH?

Thank you folks.
Barry, as far as I know, no. Andres Bonifacio (correct spelling) was executed by his rival in the movement, Aguinaldo, before Bonifacio could do give anything to his people, unfortunately............... |
