http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...fvi%3D1&_rdc=1 What can anybody tell me about this item? I found it very interesting that the scabbard as well as the hilt on this piece is covered in copper. Is this a status piece, a show of wealth, for everyday use or just a fancy tourist item?
Sorry about the picture quality, it is from the auction. I will post more and hopefully better pictures after it arrives. All comments on where this is from, age or any other information would be greatly welcomed as I know very little of African weapons. I would guess that this could be Ngbandi but would appreciate help from the experts.
