Default Ethiopian Sword for trade

Hello.
I have an old Shotel available for trade for South Pacific as well as African clubs. I am especially interested in clubs and spears from the Solomon Islands, New Guinea, and Samoa. I am also posting other African weapons such as a Moroccan Nimcha, an Ethiopian Spear, and a few other items as well. If trade is not an option I am open to fair offers.
The overall length is just under 32", with the horn handle accounting for 4 1/2" of the measurement. The blade measures 1 5/8" from the top edge to the bottom edge. The writing on one side is gold and the opposite side is primarily silver, except at the tip where it too has gold writing. The blade could use a cleaning on the the side with silver writing, but I leave that to the next owner's discretion. The scabbard is in rough shape (as you can see in the photos) with some remnants of patterned leatherwork. The band around the tip is still in nice shape and the patterns on it are clear. The horn handle has some old chips as you can see in the pics. More pics to follow.

Best regards,
Joe
