Hi Tim
Similar specimens, Bida, on africanarms.com site, site back on the net. Never come across one before, rarer than the telek. Nice.

Detlef and Teodor, thank you for your response. I searched for years to find this quality and shape, so reasonably satisfied.
Regards
Marc

I could not resist getting a second copy of this type of telek. A good steel blade although the execution of the fullers is not so great. No sheath.

Regards
Marc
