Well, I would place it at the earliest WWII then. Aluminum (if it is aluminum) would be readily available from crashed planes. If it is white metal, then I would say perhaps a little earlier.
The blade form is a traditional blade form. |

Well the bolo arrived today and it turns out that it's a one eared dog
 Must have lost it in a fight   . The good news is the scabbard is made out of carved horn. I cleaned up the blade and gave it a few strokes on my sharpening stone and it now has a razors edge  . I'll take some pics tomorrow of the finished product and post them.

What I just noticed is that the top quillion is in the form of a rooster head. Here are some pics.

I am with Steve, nice one! Do you plan to give it back the missing ear?
