Hi

These are fairly abundant in south Africa where I come from, where they are brought south by traders and sold in flea markets and elsewhere. The scabbards are particularly elaborate. I had a smaller one before I left, but they can be quite large in size too.

I have been looking for them since but they aren't easily found elsewhere.

Regards
Ron Anderson
