Abyssinian ? sword

[Jim McDougall]

LOL! Actually you did, just didnt know it yet It seems you are widely diverse in the scope of your collecting, and to me most ethnographic collectors brach into many fields. Many have favorite or specialist areas, but as shown, through trade and diffusion of forms, finding variants and tracking the history of them is pure adventure, and few of us can resist sallying forth into those!

All the best,
Jim
