Just received this sword and need help with origin and possible age. I believe it to be from the Philippines but not sure. Grip is wood, guard is steel, ferrel is brass with solder joint and pommel I believe is some sort of bone. Blade is diamond section with an oval hole going through it 4" in front of the guard. All help welcomed.

Length 26-1/4"
Blade length 21-1/4"
Hilt 5"
Blade width at widest 1-5/8"
Blade thickness 1/4"
