Here's some photos. As you can see, restoration has begun. The hilt is horn, not wood. The most proximal part of the pecked-out design spells out "PHILIPPINES", and the blade is right-hand chisel-ground.

Should be a V-grind on an Ilokano knife. The inscription is typical of post-WWII knives from Central Luzon.
