Two handed swords

[Matchlock]

Hi Iain,


Here are just a few samples of Tuareg swords with double crescent blade marks from German sales of the past years; the sales dates are shown in the scans.

The marks on the last one are hardly visible but the description states that they are there.

Please cf.

I should say that the experts on the Ethnographic section could tell you more on this topic.


Best,
