Hello Vantique, What you have looks to me to be a post WWII Luzon kris sword.

Best,
Robert

I personally stop a bit short of referring to swords like this as "kris". At least from my perspective a blade needs certain other aspects (asymmetrical base, a gonjo/gangya, separate or otherwise, etc.) to be rightfully called a kris. Often folks refer to it as such due to the wavy blade, but a wavy blade alone does not a kris make and many kris in fact have straight blades. :)
I agree with Robert that it is fairly contemporary and probably from the Luzon area of the Philippines.

Oh yes recent Ilocano style Filipino piece.

Thank you so much good people. I was hoping it was a katipunan sword :o . I'll keep digging in dusty antique shop corners, who knows................. :).
