i'm prejudiced because i do not like them, they look like old decorative items of remembrance for those that travel that have been long neglected. the heads look like a piece of sheet metal welded to the round rod and tarted up a bit. some of the leather work looks a bit NW african (poss. mandinga). of what use they would be for hunting or war i cannot say. i could be wrong tho (and frequently am) so i await, as you do, input from the more knowledgeable here.

Hi Kronckew
I don't particularly like them either so I take no offence at all. When I see two items v similar together this always makes me suspicious of tourist stuff I do not think the "blade" is welded to the square tang though There are some forging flaws and creases on the blade I paid for the Tulwar and these came in the auction lot as unwanted by me items Thanks for taughts though Regards Ken |
