As far as the ban is concerned, I don't know but it was long ago, pre-1800? The Filipinos were too deadly with these things. As far as the laminations go, if you won't use ferric cloride, then a long time in vinegar with heating the blade would suffice (and heat the vinegar too) and then with lime juice or mix the 2 (heat all the fluids).

Use low heat, obviously not high heat. Like from a blow dryer......

Jose and Ausjulius, Thank you for taking time to answer my question about the best way of bringing out the lamination on this bolo. Sorry it has taken so long for me to answer you both back after you posted your replies. If I decide to try etching this I will post pictures of the results. Right now I'm trying to find a supplier for ferric chloride in my area and then want to test both it and vinegar on something else before I try it on this. Thank you both again for your help.

Try Radio Shack, but dilute it 3 parts distilled water to 1 part acid.
