Thanks for the compliments!

Just found out that "Leandro" as in General Leandro Fullon means, "Lion Man."

It's a very fine dagger indeed! Beautiful.
A 'picture in your wallet' kind of piece!

I really like this description! "A picture in your wallet kind of piece." Bravo! I WILL use this!

Very nice Bill, very nice. I can not add anything that has not already been added. I would only say as a matter of opinion, get that blade professionally polished, it is such a shame to not see it as bright and fine as the dress that surrounds it.

David,

I saw another post in which you said we had lost the pictures. Found another post with pictures. Thought I would revive this one. There were some very interesting comments on the earlier post.

That's a precious historical artifact that belonged to General Leandro Fullon. The aesthetics of the dagger resonate with other Cavite-marked daggers. I'd like to believe that most of the elaborate Katipunan daggers were made in that area.

I'm curious- did your plan to donate this piece push through?

Sincerely,
Xas
