So, here is what the Action House came back with. Am very satisfied. Thanks

Thank you for contacting Bonhams Skinner regarding your knife/dagger. It suspect that it was made in the Philippines around the time of the Spanish American War or early 20th century. It is a collectible dagger, but its value at auction is limited. As such, it is not something that would be to your benefit to have us sell on your behalf.

Best,

Chris Fox

It looks to me like it's a kind of homemade plug bayonet for a muzzleloader.
