Philippine Knife

Here is a very nice Luzon knife that I just acquired. I had been watching this in an ebay store for quite some time and finally a few days ago decided to make an offer on it. My offer was accepted so I now get to add this beautiful item to my collection. The blade is a little over 16 inches long and the total length is a little over 21 inches. As I do not have this yet I will post the store pictures. This should date to the late 19th to early 20th century. Buffalo horn grip with brass fittings the brass windings are missing but it is otherwise in good condition. The nicely tooled leather scabbard is in good condition for its age but is missing the tip. I wonder if this had a decorative leather tip or a metal drag? Any comments or information will be greatly appreciated.
