Default SAMAR BINALHAG

My dear blade friends.

Meet my new baby. It's 23 inches long (OAL). I have a very similar one in my collection (but WITHOUT the deity/face pommel) and it came from Borongan, Samar. A fellow blade colleague informed me that my collection was most probably a BINALHAG bolo.

Now come this new piece. the OAL is also 23 inches. They have similar blade profile, with the exception that this new one comes with a pommel with a smiling deity/person ( I really don't know what this is called). The head-pommel looks very different from the 'maranhig' on my tenegres.

I have a feeling that this is a binalhag, but not really that sure.

Any inputs would be greatly appreciated.

Kind regards from Manila.
