Hello, good people!
I recently picked up this item. I'm quite certain it is African. The pommel and use of brass tacks is a style I have seen, but I can't place. Nor, can I remember the correct attribution to use as a search term to find past threads. The dimensions are shown in the photos. It is sharpened on both sides and the fullers are offset (rather than directly opposite on either face of the blade). My first thought was an unusual variant of a shotel (gurade), but the proportions and overall style seems more West or Central African. So...what are your thoughts? Thanks much! -Rob Last edited by shayde78; 20th October 2022 at 03:02 AM. Reason: Forgot photos! |
