Default Visayan Bolo in Auctions Imperial
The 2012 Auctions Imperial sale was the second time they offered a "Visayan Bolo". A similar one was offered in 2010.

Based on nearly identical samples in Spain, I believe it was made in Binan, Laguna, in the late 1800's. Several specimens were exhibited in the 1887 Philippine Exposition in Madrid. They bore the markings "1887" and "Binan, Laguna".

Laguna is a province in Southern Luzon.
