			Interesting is that despite the fact this sword should be (as far as references in literature are concerned and it was already discussed here, too) Mandingo from Guinea - it was acquired in Zaria in Northern Nigeria. There was embossed silver strip rolled on around upper part of the blade, but, unfortunately I lost it during cleaning...
