Hello Eric,
As the others have mentioned, certainly not Moro work. Kris from Brunei seem to be very close to Sulu work, too.
I can't positively prove that this wasn't made on the Malay peninsula. Based on the features at the base of the blade, I'm inclined to believe that this piece was made by a Madurese pande...
IMHO, it would be interesting to stain the blade.
Regards,
Kai
