African Sword Origin?

Hi

Looks a good old, honest knife from the Congo, nice having the sheath. I can't find an exact match for it in my books, but could be Konda tribe.

Its often difficult to ascribe Congo weapons exactly I find, as there were many crossover influences.

Regards.

Very nice sword. Good to have the sheath.

I'm almost certain it comes from the Konda tribe in Congo.
