And I have thought it is a sleeper! :D ;) This very nice african short sword was recently sold by ebay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/UNUSUAL-HANDMADE-ANTIQUE-AFRICAN-TRIBAL-KNIFE-WITH-SCABBORD-16-1-2-LONG-/350701864567?_trksid=p2047675.l2557&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEDWX%3AIT&nma=true&si=QHolQ6DMQTli6Az6jh1nlcHS9oA%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc
Would like to know from which tribe this knife is coming and what you think about.
