This auction has recently finished, the sabre has a Manding styled scabbard. The sword is similar to the ceremonial one I posted a while ago. But this one has a more purposeful blade, looks to be rehilted locally, the blade appears to be European. French styling of the sword seems likely...however for some reason I'm begining to 'see' a Spanish influence...
anyone care to comment......
