Thank you Kino. The paid price was the "buy-it-now" option, the starting price was cheaper. When the cross guard is wood the restauration will be more easy. Any guess about the age?

Interesting piece. Obviously during the American occupation. 1920s - 1940s?

Thank you Jose,

thank you for comment. Your age guess is based by the eagle carving on the scabbard, correct? How you would call it? Sanduko? Tenegre?

After some research I am sure that this bolo can be called sanduko. In this thread: http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showth...hlight=tenegre are shown similar swords and given some great informations.
