Abyssinian shotel for coment
Hello,
I just received this shotel. The blade is about 30" long and 1/8" thick; the hilt is unfortunately a replacement and not very nice. Oddly the one who made it kept the buttcap. The seller said it was a 20th century piece, but he had no idea what this was. Any comment on that? How late were these swords produced? The first four pics are from the seller, the last two are mine. Thanks for any input, Emanuel |
