Thumbs up
ITS NOT SO BAAAAD. IT MUST HAVE SLIPPED THRU THE CRACKS AS SOMETIMES HAPPENS ON THE FORUM AND ELSEWHERE. IM MY EXPERIENCE IT IS VERY UNUSUAL TO HAVE A RAMS HEAD ON A KNIFE FROM THE PHILIPPINES. I THINK THEY DO HAVE GOATS BUT NO SHEEP AS FAR AS I KNOW. IT COULD HAVE BEEN MADE TO ORDER FOR A FOREIGNER OR JUST A DESIGN BORROWED FROM SOMETHING A LOCAL HAD SEEN? THE WORKMANSHIP IS GOOD AND IT LOOKS LIKE A HIGH QUALITY KNIFE FROM MAKERS IN LUZON. AT ANY RATE I LIKE IT.

Thank you for your mercy Barry!
It's exactly what I think byself, it's very unusual to see a rams head by a Luzon bolo, I don't think to have seen one before. My personal guess would be Batangas for the origin of this bolo but I could be very well wrong.

Regards,
Detlef
