To my eye the kampie looks Moro through and through. The wood, the hilt style and carving are Moro. The laminated blade(very nice, btw!!) is a typical, but rarer, Moro form for these. The hair plum is intact and looks original.
It is a little hard to tell if the carving is just a little raw or if that is residue and dirt built up over years, with perhaps some tiny chips.
Seems to me you a have a very fine example of a late 19th-very early 20th century Moro kampillan in superb condition!
Great get!
