Philippine Sword?
 
Hi Guys

What type of sword is this? Is it from Luzon?

Yep -- Luzon would be my guess. That narrow brass hexagonal ferrule , with the swelling of the hilt immediately above it, suggests Batangas. Mid-20th C. or thereabouts I would think. The stamp on the blade means it probably started life as a leaf spring.

Hi All

I snapped off a couple of photos of the bolo. It is quite nice the hilt is horn and the scabbard is of nice quality.
