Rick you have a point (like the one on my head
 ) and my piece I believe is literally Katipunan and pre -1900. Wonder if it was carved by the same artist.

The hilts appear identical. Always something of the artist resides in the art...

When did the Bolo forms develop the brass cross-guard we can see on so many contemporary pieces ?
Pre-WWII ? After ? Earlier ?
