4 at the bottom 1.bottom left bolo, luzon post ww2, 2.bottom right barong mindanao, moro looks like a good older one, 3. second row left keris wavey blade form mindanao moro older one. 4. kampilian moro, mindanao older one.
there are at least a total of 5 the top two and two others in the middle , can tell by the handles and ferrules they were made in the same place and time period as #1 I am not sure what to call them perhaps bolo variations? at first look I thought all of these were moro plack minatures.  the second one down on the left looks like a good example perhaps a form of bangkung?

Better photos would greatly help on this but I will give it a try. Both top two look to be Luzon bolos WWII or later. Second down on right looks to be a late pira from Mindanao ?. Third down on right ???. Forth down on right seems like it could be a late minasbad, Bikol. Fifth down on right is a bolo from Negros, WWII or later.
Best, Robert |

Forth down on the left: Repro. "Sansibar #2" Fifth down on the left: Repro. Out of production? (I believe, we discussed this here before?) Yup, I cheated and looked at the catalog.  Regards, Kai |

Hey Barry, what happened - broken keyboard?

Going with the current display limits, I believe spreading the blades out a bit more would be nice to avoid obscuring the flow of lines by multiple crossovers... Quote:
