And Yet Another Bolo

Hello everyone,
I won this on epray a couple of weeks ago and thought that I would post it hoping that I am not boring everyone to death with picture after picture of bolos.

I was told by the seller that this item came from the estate of the family of Corporal David A. Bruneau, Company A, 1st Montana Volunteer Infantry.
His regiment arrived in Manila, Philippine Islands on August 24, 1898.
The First Montana remained in the Philippines until August 23, 1899, fighting in the Philippine-American War.
The unit arrived back in the United States on September 22, 1899 and was mustered out in San Francisco, California on October 17, 1899. No paper work came with it to prove where it was sold at the estate sale so I have no real evidence that it actually belonged to him, only what I was told by the seller .

Still, all in all it is a very nice example in very nice condition. All comments are very welcome.
