Hello dear members,

I wanted to show you this kaskara sword,
It was a long time I tried to get one.

I think it is a sudanese 'model'' with his silver hilt and tassel.
it was bought to a Tuareg nomad in 1973 in south Algeria.

The scabbard seems not old,

The blade is interesting, flexible and ''springs'' when we hit it.
Oakeshott X type ,

Good local ''imitation'' blade ( made in Sudan ?? )
or an old european ? ( but without ricasso...)
