I agree with Battara, the okir work looks very much like recent okir work being done in Maranao areas. Also the scabbard tip reminds me of some more recent Maranao scabbards (though I suppose it could also remind me of older garab/talibong scabbards as well). The blade kinda reminds me of a Chinese blade, but then the guard reminds me of Visayas. Hmmm... However, I think Ill have to scratch my head a bit, and say I dunno for the type of sword.
