What a nice piece!
Actually I would say that the blade is Maguindanao, while the hilt is Maranao or made by a Maranao craftsman (based on the Maranao okir). This is not unheard of since these tribal areas were next to each other.
Also it looks like the surface of the orange bands of the hilt are made of suassa.
Is there a scabbard?
