African sword - Salampasu variation?
Or something else?
Massive, heavy, well-forged blade --- 3" wide and 19" long. Sword is 24" overall length in sheath. |

Bill
Nice one! The blade has a Fang look to it? Could be a melding of two tribes sword? Lew |

Thank you, Willem! Price was listed and paid without bickering. I have a good, well-provenanced Batak sword from Willem that I will post soon. But for now, I am interested in comments on this piece. I think that Lew may have something in a melding of two cultures. There does seem to be a Fang influence. |
