...I think that the book was a copy of ARMOURERS MARKS Being a Compilation of Known Marks of Armourers Swordsmiths and Gunsmiths by Dudley Gyngell. I saw it in a bookshop.

The picture is indeed from Nigerian Panoply but it was posted in this forum before. The book is from the mid 1960's. I think that most of the takoubas which turn up in the UK are from Nigeria.
