Congrats on a great find. The Visayan Islands started to be under US control in 1899. Cebu was fighting the Spanish control in 1898. I've lean towards thinking this type of sword would be from Cebu. Maybe an early presentation sword to US officer? It sure seems to be in excellent condition. By 1900 there was conflict with Americans. If you find any more info on it, please post.
