Default Visayan bolo, pinuti?

Have bought this Visayan bolo, first you may think that it is a talibon but I think that the blade form is different. It has a chisel ground edge but the bend after the bevel isn't so strong like by a talibon. After some research I found this older thread: http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showth...ghlight=pinuti and I think both bolos are very similar and also the age of both could be in the same frame. Hopeful that it isn't a early tourist item but the blade seems to be good worked.
Your opinion would be very appreciated.
