I hate to disagree with everyone, but this too is recent. The engravings, the way the okir is done on the "silver" or silver plated mounts on the scabbard, the style all point to a recent manufacture, again probably in Marawi City. It is made to look old. The luk curves, though more rounded than some, are still not right for an older piece.
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news. Better than most tourist pieces however.
