This is a nice piece and congratulations! I agree - a great contrast between the ivory and the horn. A great addition to your collection, Tito Gunong!
I will only raise one small issue: I would not consider this an early gunong but a later gunong due to the shape of the pommel and the mono steel blade. These aspects would probably put this into the late 1920s - early 1930s (according to Federico's classification).
Still a very attractive piece.
