CCUAL:

Thanks for bringing these pics back up. That is probably the best example of this rare knife that I have seen. Remarkably complete and looks as though it comes from the same time period as shown in the picture I just posted above.

The sticker on the scabbard says:

BOLO SWORD
TAGALOG PHILIPPINES

Obviously not a Tagalog knife.

Like Indianajones, I have been looking for one of these for a long time.
