It looks very similar to Charles’ damascus barong discussed here recently. Twist core wall to wall.

Just to say the pommel is made from ivory though the patination made it look like a dark wood , one side is darker than the other , i have added a couple of pics

Great piece! Just not entirely sure if the pommel is ivory or bone. But either way, a 3-wave twistcore with that silver hilt wrap is just top tier!

What a wonderful example!

The blade looks Sulu to me and the patina and pattern on the pommel does look to be ivory to me.
