The Visayan scabbard does not look correct for the top bolo. For the knife, is the handle peened?

Yes both handles are peened.They have matching collection numbers on the scabbards and the weapons, but we all know how museums are.I agree, that the longer sword was either cut down or it is a mismatched sheath..
