Original Philippine Moro Datu Pinal Silver-Mounted Dagger circa 1850

Item Description

Original Item: One Only. Most probably belonging to a Moro Chieftain, known as a "datu", this style of dagger is known as a Moro Datu Punal. The word punal literally translates in Spanish to "dagger" and is a result of the colonization. It has a wonderful condition 8 1/2" double edged DAMASCUS steel blade and a heavily figured curved mahogany hilt.  However, the beauty is all in its Silver mounts, which are expertly ornamented. Half the hilt and all the cross guard are made of heavy silver. The wood scabbard has heavy silver mounts to both Chape and Locket, again both with engraving designs.

A very solid high quality dagger over 160 years of age in lovely condition, ready to display
