Hello all,
I too think, like Miguel and Kubur that the Congolese-central Africa origin is the most convincing hypothesis,
Maybe from the Kuba people, I found these two large swords
moreless look-like,
One with a large spatula blade shape and ivory end on the hilt,
the other one with ''nailed'' copper inserts
PS: looking closer, I think more and more that the melted metal in
''my blade'' can be made of mixed gold, I have to test it
(by a jeweler ? )
Kind regards
