Well,
The Bolo arrive today with quite a few surprises. It does have a deity head grip and also a turtle shell and leather covered scabbard! There is one bad split it the turtle shell covering and a few worm holes in it and the grip but all in all I am very happy with it. The fittings could be brass but have a very soft glow so I will have them tested to be sure. The blade is in great condition but was covered with a coat of varnish that I have removed. The scabbard was covered in years of just about everything including paint splatters so I have given it a light cleaning followed by Ren wax. It is dark outside now so I will have to wait until tomorrow to post pictures.
Robert
