Thank you!
I appreciate your input.
Yes, the rounded end of the blade is sharp.
I've tentatively identified the top blade as a bolo, which I realize is a very broad term. As noted, the grip is indeed a socket that would allow attachment of a staff to create a spear or polearm.
What expertise I have is firearms related, which is how I came to my volunteer work at the museum. I am learning a great deal about Asian weapons but remain woefully ignorant and have only scratched the surface.
Again, thank you for your assistance.
