What a fascinating item! Jose, have you considered that this might be from Brunei (including the hilt)? The pommel has suffered a few fractures to the crest and beak of the pommel, which seem to have been repaired fairly well. The carving strikes me as unusual for Tausug work, hence my suggestion of Brunei (or other Malayan areas of western Borneo).
