It is 23 inch OA or 58,4 cm. Until now I don't have it in my hands and this is a picture from the seller. All comments are very appreciated.

Sajen, thanks for the complement. Actually I was eyeing this bolo too, until I realized that I was running out of ga$

It's a nice piece, congrats.

Yes, I was the primary with material shared by others with me. It was based upon my collection of notes over years. After putting it togather has recieved at-a-boys and stones-throwing. I will say it is not perfect but it was the best I had. Some day I hope to do another with new pictures and more info.
