Default Luzon or Bandung?

Dear members, a while ago I acquired an unusual sword which was attributed to the Philippines, but it had me puzzled until today. The general outlines are often seen on the West Javanese 'Gobang Bandung' from the Preanger region, yet the aesthetic details like the silver decoration on the scabbard and typical silver sheets on the hilt points me to the Luzon area.

I wonder what your opinions are on this matter.

Thanks in advance!
