Default Philippine dagger - 1st Philippine Republic

Just won this dagger on Ebay. I wanted it badly, and was fortunate. What caught my eye first were the symbols on the scabbard. The face in the sun was a common symbol of the Katipunan. Also the patina of the wood looks very nice, as does the tarnish on the (I hope) silver fittings. A few questions for my friends:

How common is it to have a PI dagger without a guard?
Do you think that this one is original, or the shield on the scabbard added later?
What is the proper pronunciation for Katipunan?

All thoughts, speculation, information, and opinions appreciated!

Steve
