The scabbard and handle are atypical and a bit of a puzzle to me. Diamond shaped blades can also be found with the Shi or Tutsi.
Probably a mixture of different styles as mentioned by the other forum members. Good blades were traded all over Africa.
Isn't it possible to trace the origin of this knife. It was surely part of some museum's collection. You should try to find out more.
Anyway, I like it. It's beautiful and complete.
