Any ideas on the origin?

Ian, thanks for the information. It does have that flower/naga carving on the hilt. You were correct on the blade, it's chisel ground. The guard is Carabao horn.

VVV, it is on the small side. The overall length is 22.5 in., blade is 16.5 in. Very similar scabbards.

The 3rd photo is of a Naga hilt on a Bangkung, just for comparison.

LOLZ.....nice

!!!

I suspected a sanduko but instead we have a talibong with a pueo bulaklak.

btw...the hanger block does not determine age, but rather point of origin.
