Thank you very much for your educated comment and special for the enlargements Robert. Also the pig suggestion seems to be a very good one. And I hope that you are correct with the soldering theory, the picture seems to confirm this. We will know more when it arrives at it's destination.
Best regards, Detlef |

I hope that I am right with the soldering theory as well. In the drawing of the Nigrito warrior you posted the top of the sheath seems to show something similar to the fur on your example wrapped around its throat as well.

Yes, it looks also to my eyes that he seems to have something similar around the scabbard from his sword. Sadly I can't see clearly the hilt form. The other man has a complete different sword. Regards, Detlef |

Sorry for the poor quality of the photo, but this I believe is the source of the material used as a ferrule on this sword.

It seems to me that to be large enough to be used as a ferrule that it would most like be from either a 16 or 12 gauge shotshell.
Best, Robert |
