Humbly asking for some wisdom on this bolo beauty

Alex,

That is a super nice example.

I've attached two below to show the wonderful variances found in the type and also display one of the sheath types in tooled leather that can also sometimes be found.

I see KKK on the handle, Katipunan, established in 1892. Thus, the bolo can be dated to the end of 19th century at the latest.
