Congrats Lew, the pommel looks to be aluminium...but the blade IMHO looks to be older......perhaps re-hilted? Nice sword never the less....another one that should be in MY collection

Default Somali Trio

Hi All

The Somali sword arrived today it's a real nice one and the scabbard is in great shape just a bit of the tip of the leather near the point is undone otherwise it is intact. Here it is with it's two other brothers.
