Knife with interesting markings - Ebay

I believe we found a match.

Insignia of Spanish Light Infantry unit during the same era as the 1896 Revolution and the Span-Am War.

Interisting knife

, Fortunatelly I was the winner of the auction ( I,m sorry Steve ). When I saw the knife thought inmediatelly in the symbols of the blade, the hilt ( maybe from a bayonet or a saber ) and the sheath with the 3 ( I had sawn some shields similarsin a uniforms ).
When I received I put more pictures.
Thanks all for the comments
best regards

We hate speculation, but I still wonder,

Is this a Philippine piece with captured insignia; or is it a Spanish captured piece remarked with Guidon and unit emblem ?

Obviously the knife is Katipunan; but whose hands did it finally wind up in ?
I'm guessing Spanish along with David .

Is the sheath original to the piece?
There is an interesting lug at the pommel end; almost as if it was made for a sheath with a pommel strap .
