Thanks for your comments fellas.

Sword Cane / Swagger Stick?

I’ve had this for quite a while, fittings of brass and copper. The brass seems to be from ammunition shells.
The iron locking mechanism doesn’t seem to be shade tree manufacture.

Thanks Ian, the blade is V ground.
I’ve never seen this blade profile from Mindanao / Sulu but the scabbards Naga carving I thought as being Moro. It’s a puzzle to me. I wish it came with the hilt.

Origin?

Any ideas as to where this blade and scabbard originated from?
Does the scabbard motif give any clues?
Thanks.

Interesting, similar to a mortise and tenon construction.
The “teeth” is dark wood, same type as the crosspiece? I like the contrasting colors.
