Ian, the sword fits into the scabbard, it was just pushed to one side that’s why the ganya looks oversized for the sampir. Fort identification, I agree the scabbard shouldn’t be factored in since it looks like a replacement.

I agree with you and Jose on the dating ~mid 19th cent.
The motif on the bands and blade inlays looks Moro to me. I have seen seen similar on other Moro Kris’, of note the 4 petaled flower(?). Thank you both for your comments.

For comparison with a Kris that’s slightly older. A fullered blade, 1/8” in deficit at its widest area.

I agree, it's got Bangsamoro signatures, and an old one...very pretty kris!
