They look like runt of the mill pig stickers. If you're going to snipe do you honestly think someone's going to give information. Recently, ebay has been leaving a bitter taste in the mouth, when Filipino sword collectors from the forum find sleepers that get sniped by another member. In the early days of ebay, a few hardcore collectors at least had the courtesy to email so we wouldn't have to pay more than we had to and that was before we were members of this forum. So now those $9.99 bolos worth less than a $100 are going for some over inflated prices. Such is life, I'm abandoning ebay again and going back to the dealers.
Re: names- do your own research and you'll feel more confident about what to call them, I like Zonneveld's lead, multiple labels depending on the locale, its the same with Filipino swords if you're still confused and want obvious answers.
