			Hi 
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
	I have seen this sort of hilt on African short swords quite different to this. One was for sale on a well known ethnographic weapon site on the internet. I would have bought it but know i would have problems from customs importing it Congratulations. A great acquisition.  |
