Default Visayan/Moro Dagger - thoughts?

Ok.....I picked this up at a local gun and knife show here.

The hilt appears to be narra wood with engraved high quality silver mounts and teeth made of monkey teeth or odd bone. The form seems to be of an early Visayan deity head.

On the back of the head is a crown with a cross on top.

On the silver ferrule there is a flower on both sides.

There is a crossguard made of lower coin silver.

The blade and scabbard, however, are Moro with the blade being laminated in subtle patterns. Again high silver bands on the scabbard.

What are your thoughts on this interesting dagger?
