Bolo for comment

Based on my reading here, I would place this as Central Luzon. Photos are from Ebay seller (it will be a long time before I get my hands on it).

Congrats! I made an offer on that, perhaps I should have offered more! I also pointed out it isn’t a kukri.

Hi Jeff,

Nice Luzon bolo!

Can't say from where exactly, Ian or Raymundo will maybe know more. How long is it? Funnily I also came across a "new" Luzon bolo, see pic., 50 cm long.

Best regards,
Detlef

Sorry man!

Detlef- I like that one. Not sure length on mine, but based on a photo in hand I would guess ~ a 30cm blade and ~12cm handle.

Halloo Jeff, I would posit your bolo to be from Pampanga, because the blade profile and hilt angle fit the "palang" category.

Detlef's, I would posit to be either Pampanga or Tagalog-made.
