This looks like a Palawan piece - try the search function on this forum for some more examples.
I guess yours is a post-WW2 example.

Furthermore, I welcome any comments or advice on restoration possibilities on the scabbard and blade.

I'd just try to secure the rattan on the scabbard - maybe with an additional rattan band?
Etching the blade may yield some additional insights into its construction.
