It is 23 inch OA or 58,4 cm. Until now I don't have it in my hands and this is a picture from the seller. All comments are very appreciated.

This blade is a Post WW-2 Bolo, Espada pattern, I have one simular my mother-in-law gave me as wedding present. Your hilt is brass cast, and you leather sheath is most likely Carabo hide leather. It shows some usage which is alway good.
If anybody wants I can post a link for PDF magazine- special edition on Filipino Weapons A-Z so you have it for refference.
