Unknown old bolo
4 Attachment(s)
I have had this one for several years but never figured exactly where it came from. The blade is about 3/8-inch thick at the hilt, obviously laminated and V-ground. The hilt is NOT full tang, shows some damage near the end, and has a small iron ferrule. The heavy blade measures 11 inches, the handle is 7-8 inches.
It has a Philippine feel for me, but I have trouble placing where. Ian. |
Hello Ian,
my best guess would be that it is from Luzon, because the small ferrule maybe from Batangas? Not all smaller bolos from there has a throughout tang. Regards, Detlef |
