			The first has iron fittings, except the butt plate (some copper alloy?).  Rings and tip of the scabbard are brass.  1/4" thick blade at the hilt.

			The sword in above is very nice, compare it with the Luzon pieces from the Macau exhibition on the right from the picture.

			Wow I was wondering where my mom's bolo ended up  
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
			    . She was looking for it for years  .Lew Tim I think the mom 88 is post WW2 probably around 1948 to 50. The other one is probably around 1900-1910. Last edited by Lew; 9th June 2012 at 04:57 PM.  |
