Good looking sword. I've ran across very few Visayan swords that were subtly laminated, unlike yours which has a prominent pattern. It's odd that it would have a hilt hewn from a wood that is different from the scabbard.
Here is another one that is almost in proportion to yours. OAL 25-1/4", blade 19-1/2", 3/8" thick.
I hope you don't mind me piggybacking my photos to yours.
