Hi All
I just picked up this sword from a fellow formite. It seems to be a North African style sword with a 24" blade. Does anyone have a clue which tribe made this? I also noticed that many years ago some idiot commited an atrocity and drilled a small hole through the hilt and blade probably to mount it on a wall :eek: but it is still a very nice sword and much worthy of display :).
