Did a random search last night, and found this. Price looked ok, even with the damage to the guard. I am a student of most edged weapons, but don't recall one, exactly like this. Although, African blades are way out of my area. (If African) The wood handle intriques me. Were there other material inserts, on either side of the wood "langets"? Also, are those two images, comets, or meteors, on the ricasso area of the blade.
