Non Moro ,Mandaya? sword

Based on my very limited knowledge, I could hazard a guess and call it a ginunting. The angle of the blade in relation to the handle and the "false edge" would hint in this direction. The handle seems a bit unusual for a ginunting, (usually there are finger grooves) but my experience is only with more recent pieces. A very nice looking weapon, nevertheless. Congratulations on the purchase.
