Hi Steve, Very nice bolo/tenegre. What do you think on the age of this piece, second quarter of the 20th century? Looks like a Visayan piece to me. What is the ferrel made of brass or steel, cast or seamed, soldered or braised ? I can't tell by the picture. What a great face on the hilt.

On the blade, is that a filled hole or something else? Another great addition to your ever growing collection. Thanks for sharing !!
