Hello Iain and all,
We've just been admiring the grand family and wondered if our latest baby could be included in the family tree!! According to Tirri, this is a 18th/19thc takouba,so far this has been the only reference we've found to these unusual swords.The blade appears to be a possible French sabre. This is a definate fighting weapon and we are very keen to know more, even if its just a distant cousin! Regards Andy and Karina
