Philippines Bolo
3 Attachment(s)
The second purchase of the weekend.
Lets see if I can be more accurate with this one :D For obvious reasons the UK does not see as many Philippines items as the States does. This is the first one of these that I have bought, mainly because it is the first one that I have seen for sale at a fair. I suppose that we shouldn't complain as we have more than our fair share of items from many other countries of the old British Empire. O/A length is 34 ins. Blade is 18 ins, with a false edge just over half it's length. Hilt is steel with horn and twisted brass wire. Unlined, leather scabbard. All opinions welcome. Regards Roy |
Hello Roy, All I can say is for a first time purchase you sure a did well. A late 19th century Luzon bolo with all the hilt windings still intact and its original leather scabbard. Congratulations on this very nice addition to your collection.
Regards, Robert |
Nice catch Royston. Robert is once again on the money. Blade profile makes me think Tagalog.

Nice one! Definitely Luzon, as everybody has said.
