Moro Pira Sword antique or new production?

Did they make blades like the one in the post above me for local use in recent times, or is this another tourist-souvenir blade?

Does anyone have any more info on this? 5mm does seem a bit thin for an older blade, but the shape of the pira is more reminiscent of what I associate as being the older kind than what I typically associate with newer pira, which I usually see taking this shape:

(This pira was made in 1995 and is from Basilan)
