Default A new Luzon bolo entered the collection

A new Luzon bolo entered the collection recently, Tagalog or Pampanga in origin like Raymundo stated in another thread: http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showthread.php?t=30907
It seems to had a hard life behind it, the edge shows several nicks and the spine seems to be heavy treated in the past.
50,3 cm overall, blade 33,5 cm long, 10,8 (!) mm thick at the spine behind the handle. With 768 gram quite heavy. Horn handle with soldered iron mounts.
Last picture shows it with a similar bolo from my collection which was identified by Raymundo as "dahong buho" from Tayabas, Quezon.

Like always are all comments welcome!
