Hello Blue,

to my knowledge this sickle swords are common by the Ngombe, Doko, Poto, Budja and Ngbandi. A very similar sword is shown in "panga na visu" on page 132. The brass wire around the handle is normal and don't have to do something with the repair. Nice sword, with some maintanance it will look very nice.

Regards,
Detlef
