A pic with plain background would be great whenever you get a chance... 
The age estimates seem reasonable - the hilt looks well above average from that period though. I'm not convinced that production of laminated blades stopped throughout the Sulu archipelago - like with the separate katik, I'd guess that traditional production continued in remote areas...

Hullo Kai,
I'm not yet done restoring it, sorry this is what I can manage at the moment.
