Cameroon? Gabon? Congo?

Danny, Freddy and Luc.

What do you make of this?

I might be thinking Cameroon. Why do things always turn up when you cannot afford them? An antique furniture dealer friend found this for me. 50cm in total, blade 33cm. It has never been sharp, a status piece. I have worked hard to remove rather a lot of rust and have run out of light for a good picture, will do that tomorrow. There is an iron ring around the top of the handle at the forte of the blade. Not cheap sadly but I think it is a little bit nice and possibly rather rare.
