A rather nice Luzon bolo
Here some auction pictures from a late 19th to very early 20th century Luzon bolo, one side of the blade with floral engravings inlaid with brass, to my eyes a horn hilt (auctionhouse say wood) in form of a ram head. A silver ferrule at the base and I think to see a silver necklace, 40,5 cm long. A very worn but complete and nice embossed leather scabbard.
