It certainly has that Colonial Spanish flair.I like your theory about the writing having the same look as your Kaskara; based on the script's appearance, not only does it look the same to me,but I see a taper of the letters that indicates that this was cut out of a Kaskara sword.
How this sword got to the Philippines, if indeed it did, no one knows, but in the day, good steel was a commodity, as were many U.S. files that became Philippine weapons.
