age-wise, i would guess around WW2, Detlef. could be older tho. the bands and ferrule appears to be made out of steel. as far as the pommel, it's a bakunawa (ilonggo version of naga).
i would call this binangon, just to be on the safe side, although as far the the blade is concern, it could be classified as tinegre, from the root word tigre, meaning tiger. that's because it's shape like a tiger's tooth...
