Batangas bolo!
New addition to the collection. Hoping to get some input on this. Carabao hilt, through-tang (peened over), brass ferrule. Leather sheath with attached belt. Blade has angled tip but not sharply angled like a tabak or “katana”.
Based on other threads (http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showth...t=Finger+notch for example) I believe the origin is Luzon, Batangas. Shows some characteristics of Ilokano work? Age probably post-1945? Thanks! Dimensions: 56 cm overall length, 42 cm by 4+ cm blade. |

Well Done
Wildwolberine,
Very well made sword (I especially like the pommel cap) and sheath, all in very good condition with good age to it. You can't ask for more. Sincerely, RobT |

Thanks, I agree! I cleaned it up a little, polished the brass, and treated the horn. Probably won’t touch the scabbard as it’s in great shape for it’s age
