 I have shown you these threads where I think that are shown old examples and I want to show you that it's difficult to find the real deal, read through the given threads. 
And what auction houses state is complete irrelevant, I have seen a lot of wrong described items by auction houses, I never believe them. 

 Mandaus described as African machete or Asian weapons described as African and reverse. 
Hope an expert joins in, like I said, I can be wrong.
