Filipino Sword with a European Handguard

Picked up this Filipino sword with a European sword handguard. When I first looked at it I thought the blade might have been Euro as well. Upon looking closely and deciding to polish and etch I was pleasantly surprised with the outcome. Have a look.

According to Jeff D at the Euro. Armoury Forums the handguard is Prussian, The Monogram is Kaiser Wilhelm II (1888-1918).

Pardon the green tint on the photos, reflection's from the X'mas decor.
