I'm pretty sure the guard was sourced from another sword and cut to fit this one.
A very nice piece. |

Those guards can be seen in swords used by the colonizers in several locations- Cuba, Mexico, and of course Philippines. European guard. Nice hybrid!

Well, I see the break midway along the guard and the solder at the pommel, but I am inclined to believe this might well be a repair for damage done AFTER the guard was attached… which may well answer your question about how much this guard could take.
