Default African sword ID

Got this African sword from an online auction.

It has a heavy, hand forged blade and is rather sharp.

Blade length: 48 cm / 19", overall length: 52 cm / 20.5"

Can anybody help me ID it?!

Hello, it's nice, but common Salampasu sword from south D.R.Congo.

Hello Marius,

it's a Salampasu sword from Congo, do a little bit search by keyword "salampasu" and you will find other examples.

Best regards,
Detlef
