kaskara sword travelling through Sahara
Hello dear members,
I wanted to show you this kaskara sword,
It was a long time I tried to get one.
I think it is a sudanese 'model'' with his silver hilt and tassel.
it was bought to a Tuareg nomad in 1973 in south Algeria.
The scabbard seems not old,
The blade is interesting, flexible and ''springs'' when we hit it.
Oakeshott X type ,
Good local ''imitation'' blade ( made in Sudan ?? )
or an old european ? ( but without ricasso...)
