Rsword and Jose, Thank you for your replies on why the CS is on the blade. It seems such a shame what some people will do to try to make money.
One thing that I just noticed about the CS is that it was not stamped into the blade but was actually engraved deeply into it. The other thing that I'm interested in finding out about are the Faceted glass or crystal beads that are embedded into the grip on the one bolo. Do they have any special meaning or are they just there for decoration? They are held in place by a horn pin that goes up from the bottom of the grip and apparently through a hole in the ends or center of the beads. Again my thanks for your time and help.
Robert
