Any thoughts about this one ?

Nice one! I like these obscure pieces.

I think it does look Philipino but the short hilt looks really odd.

Could you post a closer pic of the top of the scabbard? Maybe the leather work will help to ID it.

I would say this is from around Afghanistan as the chaps astrakhan hat and big eastern moustache seem to suggest.
