Default A "new" Luzon bolo enter the collection

This bolo from Luzon will enter the collection. It's 49 cm inside scabbard.
Pangasinan?

And here together with a very similar one my friend got recently, the one from him is a little bit more heavy but seemingly from the same workshop.

Default Sharing a similar recent acquisition

Coincidentally I just received this similar bolo - there are some differences of course but they appear to belong to the same “family”. The end of the sheath is open. The notorious “katana” of central Luzon perhaps?
TL 54cm
Blade length 41cm
Width 5cm

Thank you Ray! Would you agree that the both shown bolos are from the 19th century? And is the handle form typical for Pangasinan?

Regards,
