Jose, I'll be watching for that slug. In the meantime here is a photo of what a scabbard frog button looks like. All the ones that I have seen so far on Philippine swords have been the round variety similar to the one on the left shown here.
Best, Robert P.S. Have you tried turning the scabbard tip over as it looks as if it could be positioned wrong in the above photos.

Beautiful piece, Jose. The complexity of the carving and silverwork on the grip, to say nothing of the leatherwork, are fantastic. It's in the right hands!

Thank you folks. I was pleased to find this on ePrey a while back.
Thank you Robert for the pictures - makes sense. Not sure how I can pull it off however without damaging the chape.
