The piece arrived today. It seems to be of good quality and has a 5/16th inch thick blade at the hilt and the sharpness is good to. Probably a 1980s-90s as far as age goes but may be earlier (Vietnam era)?

Interesting sword, but not a sansibar. There is nothing on this sword that points to a Carigara or Jaro, Leyte sword making tradition where the sansibar is made. It is a visayan sundang, but the blade shape is more like a dahong palay of Luzon. But everything else points to a Visayan origin. The scabbard is really interesting, I've seen similar sundang with the same scabbards coming from Zamboanga. This is a possibility since Zamboanga is sort of a the melting pot in Mindanao with Visayan, Moro, and Lumad influences. Sorry I couldn't be more help.
