Shazam,

Your original post appears in Artzi's "sold items" section so you can show it here as it's not currently for sale.

The hilt of this sword is typical Visayan work from Panay, and the scabbard is consistent with that origin also. It is a flamboyant-bladed sword, but not similar to either a kris or keris in several key aspects, as others have noted already.
