I would place this at late 1700s to very early 1800s (as Charles noted).
Also I would place the blade from the Sulu region. What a catch! Congratulations! I agree with all that the hilt is much later and it had silver clamps on it. |

here are a few more pictures and measurement.
the blade is 19 inches long, weighs about a pound ( i dont have an appropriate weighing scale, i weighed it versus 1.5 pounds dumbel) the thickest part of the blade is 1/2 inch, tapering to 1/16th the lines running along the blade are getting faint, yeah maybe rough sanding from previous owners. the middle part of the blade (along the length) is not deeper but thicker. the ferule shows 1 notch |
