Default Interesting African swords

Also from todays hunt!
A takouba, which I find a very nice example. The ones in this same form that I find are usually falling appart. This one very sold and scabbard very trim aswell.
The other one...well dare I say arm sword? Ive seen this style of scabbard on knives and have a similar knife with the type of metal pommel this has but in size its mad. How could you wear this on your arm. Its 39inchs long forge hammerd steel.
Anybody else come across this type?
Cheers
Andy
