Just looking through old posts, and found this....cant believe it was never answered!!
I am wondering why the red colored hint would have suggested Eritrea. Would this coloration have had significance there?

...I saw this post recently and was surprised that it was not answered too. Perhaps translation requests could be "grouped"?

I wasn't aware of a connection between red leather and Eritrea. The hilt covering does look different from the usual ones we see.

Have a look at:
