Another eBay bolo to clean up

Just won this. :) I'll post photos once it's here, and cleaned up a bit. In the meantime, here's the link to the completed auction w/photos.

Looks like some sort of Luzon bolo to me, with the...

Culture being that part of human behavior which is learned, are you proposing that commerce is instinctual? :eek: ;)

Starting to crop and shrink photos to fit the BB software's constraints. Apologies for the poor quality (by my standards, anyway).

I hope you can see that the edge slopes on the front side, but...

IMHO, if the keris originates from Singapore, that changes the whole complexion of the matter. However innovative the design might be, a merlion seems quite appropriate incorporated into a piece of...

You've never heard of Bugis Street in Singapore? Looks like a credible provenance to me. Even the time frame's correct for a tourist piece with a merlion on it. If they'd sold keris along with the...

Thanks for posting the Terengganu keris, as well. Gives some perspective. Roughly how old is the unduk-unduk in the photo?

Thanks. I was hoping that someone from the area might chime in. I thought that the Visayan talibon usually has a straight or concave back, rather than a convex hump, or Bowie profile, like this one...

Interesting. Make a nice addition to the under-the-seat-collection in my pickup anyway. What's a more common name for them that one can Google? What are they called in India (yes, I read the card...

IMHO, vintage tourist bait or export knicknack. The dragon horimono is, shall we say, less than spectacular. Stuff similar to this, but smaller, could be found as letter openers back in the 1950's,...

I'll take some when it gets here. I boosted the "fill flash" on the full view. At least it looks like it'll cut brush pretty good, whatever it is. :D

What species of Philippine bolo is this?

This is currently on the way to me. To my eye, it "looks good", but can anyone recognize the type? It seems to have a mix of characteristics, and I'm no expert on these, anyway.

That is not only an older Chinese fake war relic (from when they etched horimono rather than carved them), but it was advertised as an "officer's" model, when the tsuka is plainly copied from the NCO...
