"It would be very helpful if you could post a picture of your bolo. Does it have a chisel-ground or "V"-edge?"
Yup,
I figured as much but I wanted to see if I could slide by since I hadn't uploaded any pictures yet.

Thanks, Ian for forcing me to give it a try.
So here's my best attempt after several cups of coffee.
This bolo is 24" oa. Blade is 17 3/4" oa measured from the bolster. It's chisle-ground on the side facing in the picture.
The acquisition of this piece is one of those wonderful stories that I'm sure you all have. And it has brought me back to this forum for the last couple of years.
Any and all thoughts about it would be appreciated.
