this is true, but it's the beginning ... of the expertise
no one hasn't been a fount of knowledge,
without to have multiplied errors, and corrected his errors ...
(that's is valid, for myself ...)

anyway, congratulations Ash, even if my knowledge in this field, be around the absolute zero ..
I can at least appreciate the aesthetic

all the best

Nice little collection!
Your first african sword is from the Ngbandi - Ngombe or Doko tribe.
Your Mangbetu trumbash knife is very nice!

Nope, It will getting only worse. And if the Mrs. isn't in a mood of agreement it can become very very bad for your health. Just whistle and unpack your new toys when she is sleeping or shopping.

Hello Ash,

no junk, all authentic weapons!! I like the Mangbetu, good natural patina on the ivory handle. If you look around you can still find bargains for collecting weapons for central africa.

yours, Carlo
