I agree with Vandoo that this is from the island of Luzon.
I would hesitantly say that this may possibly Pampangan, but not as sure. What points me at present to this conclusion is the tip - notice how it is clipped at an angle. Many Pampangan bolos from the time period have this same clipped point. Also it belonged to someone who was wealthy and/or of status. Can't say for sure if Katipunan or not. By the way Barry, I love the light horn, silvered, fisted bolo. Also Pampangan and I think Katipunan due to the fist and how it is carved. |
