Hi all,
I recently bought this swordstick at auction. The catalogue described it simply as "African swordstick". That covers quite a wide area, so am hoping that forum members may be able to narrow this down to a specific area in Africa. All comments appreciated.

I'm almost afraid to ask .
What in heaven's name is the hilt/scabbard made from ? :eek:

Looks organic .

Hi guys, thanks for the replies.
1. Overall length 33 inches or 84 cm.
2. Hilt and scabbard made of leather; you can see the stitching. The leather is quite hard, so may have some age to it.

More pics attached, if I can manage the process.
