Congrats, Michael!
The blade looks Sulu to me - hilt possibly Maguindanao?
This "star" motif seems to be related to the smaller "stars"/"bird footprints" sometmes seen on older Moro blades. A thumbnail of a really nice example is published in vZ (sundang)...
The small peg for holding the scabbard in the sash seems to be quite common with these Maguindanao scabbards.
Regards,
Kai
