 Thanks for sharing. Could you tell us what the tribes are and attributions in the examples you showed? I know very little about Ethiopian arms beyond being able to identify the main types.(Just a note for others - if you haven't visited Wolf's website you really should. It showcases an amazing and diverse collection with very well done photos.) |

I think the Ethiopian position and interaction with the Madhist Sudanese and the British is quite fascinating.

I let go of several, but this one has managed to hang around.
