Great catch Detlef, I must say that again I am jealous of your luck in finding these wonderful items you have been coming up with. The sunburst/sunray hilt design is always nice to find on an older hilt like. As you have already pointed out the scabbard is in poor condition but I would rather have an original one in poor condition than none at all. At least with this you could have a correct copy made if you wanted. I also agree with you on your dating and with the sunray hilt design also on the probability of a of a Katipunan connection. Again my congratulations to you on yet another great find my friend.

Best,
Robert
