A VERY INTERESTING MANDARA DAGGER (CAMEROON) FOR SWAP

HELLO, HERE IS AN INTERESTING MANDARA DAGGER FROM CAMEROON. I'D LIKE TO SWAP THIS WITH A NON-AFRICAN WEAPON (EXCEPT FOR ETHIOPIAN SWORD LIKE GOURADE OR SHOTEL AND AFRICAN SHIELDS), BUT NOT KERIS (WELCOME ARE PHILIPPINE KRIS). THE SCABBARD IS EXCEPTIONALLY WORKED. THE BLADE IS IRON FORGED BUT IT DOESN'T HAVE AN EDGE. HANLDE WITH A BEAUTIFULL PATINATION. AT THE BOTTOM OF THE SCABBARD THERE IS STAMPED A NUMBER, MAYBE A MUSEUM INVENTORY NUMBER? THE NICE THING IS THAT I HAVE PURCHESED IT ON A CHRISTIE'S AUCTION AND THE CATALOGUE SAYS THAT IS PUBLISHED ON THE BOOK "AFRICAN METAL IMPLEMENTS". CONTACT ME IF YOU ARE INTERESTED OR NEED SOME MORE PICS. THANK YOU
