Now this is an IMPRESSIVE blade!!!! It looks like the #6 blade shown on the Voos chart. Ron, thank you so much for sharing this information on Voos!
While I have always known of the Wilkinson charts etc. and that Solingen produced blades for Abyssinia, I had not known of Voos and this is a remarkable expansion of the topic of Ethiopian swords for me personally.
In the many years of arms study I have had, you have been the 'go to' guy for virtually any question on them!
Thank you for this info, and the years of work you have always shared here.
