Zanzibar Sword

[Roland_M]

Thanks for all the comments, they are very informative for me.

I found the term "Zanzibar Sword" after a while during my Internet research. This type was totally unknown for me. I think I can see influences of different regions.

Now I feel much better informed, thanks again.

Here is a picture of the marks on the blade. It could be a talismanic inscription or something in that direction. I count 31 dots and 8 crosses on one side and 34 dots and 10 crosses on the backside.
