Old Shi Sword For Comment

Hi All

This just arrived today. An old late 19th or early 20th century Shi tribe sword from the Congo. It has a very heavy forged blade with a thick center ridge and the scabbard still retains the original belt. I had a heck of a time cleaning the wood it seemed to be covered with 100 yr old mud but after a few hours I was able to restore it to about 90 percent. I snap off a quick shot of it but will take some better pics this weekend.

Sure, sure now you want it especially after I spent all that time cleaning it up for you. Next time could you tell me before I work my fingers to the bone
