Now that I see the pictures on a larger screen (and not a phone screen), I agree - the pommel might be something else - close ups might be helpful!

I agree David - the blade might well be the 1950s or even 1960s. However, I have seen 1930s looks/waves in the blade just like these.

Many of these after a certain time period were indeed made for US soldiers, although during the ban on Moro swords after the Battle of Bud Bagsak in 1915, gunongs grew more ornate and even larger since they were the only weapons not banned during that same time period for Moros to wear.
