Antique Moro Gunong

Hello everyone! I saw recent interest in gunongs and I'm sharing photos of one from my personal collection. The blade is 19 cm long and 2.6 cm at the widest end. With the wooden hilt (banati?) and metal guard, the total length is 28 cm. It comes with the original scabbard with metal rings and belt loop. However, the scabbard is damaged with some parts missing. It is estimated to be from the year 1900 or thereabouts. For reference, I've included a photo of the gunong prior to restoration. Your thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
