			Cau Martin,
 Thanks very much for the info. You just made my day! I actually just had an attempt to buy a Hausa sword fall through last month.
 
 I've been looking for one that's identifiably Hausa for a while.
 
 The leatherwork on this one had surprised me a bit as it was quite different that what I'm used to seeing on Tuareg pieces.
 
 Thanks again,
 
 Iain
