Thanks David,
I'm glad you didn't bid

From the old threads I understand this may be a later type of the old forged seme, so early 20th sounds right. It's close to 27" long so quite large, can't wait to receive it and swing it around. What I like about these weapons, and other African ones as well, is that they show th gradual transition from speartip to sword...quite fascinating.
I'll port more pics when I get it.
Best,
Emanuel
