Game, What's Different About This Bolo ???

Just a quick update on this piece, it has arrived and as I had hoped the fittings are indeed made from silver. I will post more photos after the stripping agent has arrived (I had hoped that it would be here before the knife) and I have had a chance to remove the chrome plating from the blade. Only one small bug hole in the horn hilt that can easily be filled with cutler's resin. The finely tooled leather scabbard is in great condition with the only flaw being the one spot shown it the pictures and another on the belt where a mouse decided to find out if it would make a tasty meal or not. Thankfully it must not have been much to its liking or it probably would have been completely destroyed.

Best,
Robert
