Hello, Wow nice find. It seems to be an ancient one. I love the straight blade and also the rather large '' bird'' at the end of the handle+ silver cilinders around grip. The ''elephantstrunk'' I believe points towards Maguindanao tribe (West-Mindanao), but other members probably have more expertise on this area.
Even with the quite neatly made scabbard; if the tip of the handle on one side was still there it would certainly be a true museumpiece to my opinion. But am sure it broke off long long time ago by use.

Congratulations!
