Just received this sword and need help with origin and possible age. I believe it to be from the Philippines but not sure. Grip is wood, guard is steel, ferrel is brass with solder joint and pommel I believe is some sort of bone. Blade is diamond section with an oval hole going through it 4" in front of the guard. All help welcomed.

Hilt 5"
Blade width at widest 1-5/8"
Blade thickness 1/4"
