Have received the bolo and I am more as happy with my buy. Only a tiny piece of the rams horn missing on one side. The blade I've cleaned only with a rubber gum for removing rust and steel wool 000 grade and polished the silver and brass. The hilt received an oiling with flax oil. Here some pictures for your enjoy.

Very nice Detlef. Nice silver repousse on that black ram one. Didn't know that that blade had engraved brass on it - real quality!

the engraving was shown in up already but only with one picture and not the complete bolo side so I was afraid already a little bit after a remark from Barry that there could be a damage on the hilt at this side. So there was a great enjoy that all was in fine order. Do you see the small hole at the ear like end of the scabbard? Any guess what there was attached originally? A tassel? A bell? Regards, Detlef |

Usually they don't have anything on the terminal end, but if I find anything in my archives or research, I'll let you know. Here is an example if what I am saying from Vandoo's collection that is similar to yours: Last edited by Battara; 14th November 2016 at 02:50 AM. |
