Very nice piece.
I especially like the fact that it seems intact! The sleeve is unusual and great. laminations look good, and the carving on the scabbard is great.
Could be Samal in origin. Need to do more research to see. I'd put this at the beginning of the 20c.
What is also unusual is that it is a little longer than expected, almost looking like a sipput barung.
Congratulations and thanks for posting this great example.
