And finally because of a comment from Charles:

Lovely pieces. The takoubas look to have quality and sturdier than usual blades. Both are quite nice!
I thought I'd post a group shot of a few of these 'sturdy' takouba with similar pommel styles. I think it's a great reminder that often times in ethnographic arms later examples really do serve more of a fashion/ceremonial role. But there are true battle worthy examples lurking out there!

These are just a few I managed to group together, there are more, but trying to fit these into one shot in was exhausting enough.
