The sheath will be the deciding factor =)
The very few examples that I have seen (with this edge profile) that have still had what was said to be an original sheath the sheath on every example was made from very nicely tooled leather. I imagine that if Kai had been fortunate enough to have the original he would have already posted photos of it along with the bolo. Here is another example with the same edge profile and through tang, but that is about as far as any similarity between the two goes. Please excuse the paint on the hilt as these photos are from the auction and were taken before I had a chance to do any cleaning.
Best,
Robert
