Almost looks like a Visayan blade with a Moro hilt (copper triangles?). Not being too far away, this cross pollenization probably happens more than we realize (like my Visayan/Moro dagger: www.vikingsword.com/vb/showthread.php?t=16964 ).
Very nice and unusual piece. Lucky you and congratulations. If you ever want to throw it away let me know (I'll go back behind your trash containers now  ).
