Hello Wouter, And thank you very much for your reply and thoughts on this bolo. I will probably remove the skull from the scabbard in the next few days as it seems to be the one thing that everyone is in agreement on. It will more than likely look better sitting on a shelf by itself than attached to the scabbard anyway.

I am still hoping that others will share their ideas on this item as well. Again, my thanks to you for your help.
Regards,
Robert
