Thanks Sajen for reminding me. Maybe is the operative word. The filigree work could be Sulu or Mindanao. Seen both. If solid silver could be Sulu, though recently I think I have seen Mindanao pieces like that as well. Certainly if plated it is definitely Mindanao.
I do wonder if the scabbard is an even later replacement for this piece. Dimensions seem a little bit larger than needed for the guard.
Tough to evaluate.
