A two-coloured sheath is fairly common but usually the two-tone effect was obtained by metal wire.

A NICE SWORD
 THE FUR LOOKS LIKE RABBIT AND IF IT IS, IS NOT LIKELY TO HAVE BEEN SOMETHING HUNTED AND USED IN AFRICA. I DON'T KNOW IF WILD RABBITS OR HARE ARE IN AFRICA AT LEAST I NEVER SAW ANY. IT COULD BE SOMETHING ELSE AS THERE ARE PLENTY OF FURRY CRITTERS IN AFRICA BUT MOST I AM FAMILIAR WITH DON'T HAVE THE SOFT FEEL OF RABBIT FUR. IF ITS RABBIT PERHAPS THE SWORD WOULD BE BETTER IF IT IS NOT RE- ATTACHED DEPENDS ON HOW YOU LIKE IT BEST.

Using fur on this type of sword is also not uncommon but used as belt or belt decoration. Probebly monkey fur.
