Geoffrey, thank you for those helpful comments. I have sent you the auction information via PM.

Geoffrey and TVV, what do you think the hilt material is? It has a strong "grain" to it, unlike rhino horn I have seen before. Even if it's wood, it is an attractive material.

Werecow, thanks for raising the Tebu. I had encountered somewhat similar swords from that group in my research. I thought several swords of the Ingessana of Sudan were perhaps a little closer to the original post.

This has been a very helpful and informative series of responses. Thanks to all who have posted so far. Further ideas are much appreciated.
