Yep Rick. Not a kampilan. More a fat belly bolo, epecially if an analogy is being drawn to the Mandayan bolo which has a fatter belly still.

Thanks Ian,The Bagobo sword was a "sleeper" on ebay !!! It was listed in a really weird category and was labeled a "mystery sword".The photo was terrible.You couldn't even tell it was beadwork!! I took a chance and if I remember correctly,I was the only bidder.Sometimes you have to gamble a little.The Mandaya bolo came from a little antique shop in upstate NY.I bought it for less than a steak dinner would cost!!! You never know where you will find your next treasure!! Bye,Nosmo :)
