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. Lew Last edited by LOUIEBLADES; 18th April 2006 at 05:59 AM. |
