I WOULD IDENTIFY THIS AS A PHILIPPINE BOLO, LIKELY FROM LUZON ISLAND. MAYBE FROM THE PERIOD OF WHAT IS REFERRED TO AS THE PHILIPPINE INSURECTION BY THE USA BUT AS A STRUGLE BY THE PHILIPPINE PEOPLE FOR FREEDOM FROM THE OCCUPIERS IN THE PHILIPPINES. I PUT THIS SHORT EXPLANATION IN THE HOPE NO ONE GETS OFFENDED BY THE TERMINOLGY. SOME OF THE OTHER MEMBERS CAN GIVE YOU BETTER INFORMATION AND PERHAPS PIN DOWN THE AGE FOR YOU. ITS A NICE ONE.
