My new interest in african weapons let give me a careful bid to this sword: http://www.ebay.com/itm/african-lafr...vip=true&rt=nc
The sword is 64 cm long, so I would call it sword. Or is it still a dagger?
You know, I know nearly nothing about african weapons, so all informations I can get about this sword (fighting/ceremonial ?, age, ethnic group) are very welcome. Do you would clean carefully blade and copper binding at the handle?

Thank you very much,

Detlef
