Chunky Luzon bolo for comment

I have never shown this very chunky Luzon bolo which I have already some time in my collection. The 31,5 cm long massive blade is 7,5 mm thick at the spine near the handle and taper at the middle from the blade to belly out at the tip to max. 5 mm again, so quasi is the tip reinforced, the edge is still razor sharp. Blade is fitted with a horn handle and an integral ferrule/bolster from brass, the tang is peened over a brass cap.
The beautiful leather scabbard is in very good condition and very nice embossed at the scabbard mouth.
Want to know your estimation regarding age and exact origin. The bolo is 52 cm long inside it's scabbard and 50,5 cm alone.
