New Bolos

These Luzon bolos are the latest additions to my collection. All three of these I think have very interesting hilts, not the standard flat steel or brass ones usually found on bolos of this type. The brass one looks to be cast and possibly salvaged off of some decorative item while the two steel guards are not just the flat pieces of steel that are common on most. I especially like the one with the ends curled to form the quillon tips. I believe that all three of these are late 19th or early 20th century in age. Unfortunately none of these came with a scabbard. All comments and any additional information on these would be greatly welcomed.
