Here you go! When you need more pictures please let me know.

61,5 cm overall, blade 44 cm, 7 mm thick at the spine direct after the handle.

Thanks for the pictures! I would assess this to be from Quezon as well based on the hilt. Although...the blade profile features, I commonly see that associated with Rizal area. So it's either a whole Quezon piece, or a combo build between two Tagalog areas.

Forgot to ask, is there a special meaning for the Aries handle?

Not sure TBH. The area produced a wide assortment of animal pommels. BTW, what's the edge grind?
