Hello Yves,

Of the two scabbards you show, the bottom one looks more traditionally Muslim (Moro), while the top one holding the Zamboanga barung looks more Chavacano with the drilled hole for a rope belt. If you're picking between the two, and want a Muslim flavor, I would go with the second one.
As far as the hilt on your new piece, I think it is probably a naga (snake) as the teeth look more like a snake's teeth and fangs than, say, a crocodile or mythical dragon.
