Hello, allow me to share pictures of two swords. The lower one (1; with small figures on the pommel) was bought in Europe last year, upper one (2; with face on the pommel) in Cameroon recently. Lenghts 96 and 95 cms, No. 2 has nice springy and sharp (with nicks) blade of lenticular cross-section angraved with shaded triangles and rhombs (must be cleaned to be visible). Regards
Martin
