Default Pre1900 Philippine (Luzon) bolos

Just curious- who else collects old bolos from Luzon? Here's my favorite 3.

You've seen most of mine already, but for the sake of sharing, here's my older Luzon Bolos.

I'm not completely sure that the second one from the right is Luzon, but it's my best theory.

Enjoy,
Leif

Question Bolo from Lew Waldman's collection

I doubt this bolo is pre-1900, but it is a very nicely made and mounted example and I would be interested in anything members may be able to tell me about its age and origin. The grip appears to be of caribou horn with silver (about 88½ percent) ferrules. The blade is 13 inches long and 3/8 inches thick at its base with an unsheathed weight of 20.4 ounces.

This bolo came from Lew Waldman's collection and may be an unillustrated example he mentioned in a forum post in March, 2010. http://vikingsword.com/vb/showpost.p...8&postcount=14
