			The blade and dress point to Maguindanao origin I think. The space enclosed by the elephant trunk is circular and the trunk is horizontal. This usually suggests a Maguindanao origin. The absence of side extensions on the sampir is mostly a Maguindanao trait. The minimalist shape of the kakatua pommel is also seen on some post WWII Maguindanao kris. I agree with your estimate of age.
