Haussa (?) takouba

[Yvain]

Hi all,



Wanted to show my latest takouba, I think from the Haussa ethnic group. Simple, locally made, blade, but a very nice brass hilt.

I agree with everything you posted on attribution. Nice takouba!

Congrats! Very nice sword. I second TVV's affirmation.

Hi Yvain, nice takouba, haussa also seems correct to me. The pommel is of the older type, probably late 19th early 20th century. Blade is local but seems to be of a good quality. Similar takouba's I posted a while ago. Good find.
Regards
Marc
