New Visayan Bolo

Hello Robert,

intersting item, like the scabbard. Have seen it as well (great price!) but decided to pass on this one because I have already so much restauration projects. I have bought from the same seller this "Bicol" sword with the wooden handle. I think by the look to the scabbard style that it is a very old Visayan sword. And I think that it could have had every Visayan hilt style since I have seen this blade style already with different hilts, figural and the typical rounded plain hilt. The missing hilt and the problem to get a hilt let me pass on this. Wish you good luck for the search to a fitting hilt.

Regards,
Detlef
