Battara has recently restored this in a typically T'boli style with brass chains and antique T'boli bells.

I did this in T'boli fashion since as Ian mentioned, the characteristics lean more toward T'boli rather than Bagobo, especially on the cross guard.
Notice that the small chains on the top "jaw" fill in the place of hair on Maguindanao/Maranao kampilans. |

I looked at T'boli scabbards and T'boli hilts, as well as the type of chains they used.

I believe these types of hilts and scabbards were Battara's inspirations:
