Amazing the things you can learn from this small group of people. The Tuareg 1914-1916 revolt caused some ripples on the British North Nigerian/Niger border regions.

Arrived and I like it very much, in fact I challenge any member to come up with another. It is quite old with worm holes and worn dryish leather . I have some very good leather cream which I have now applied, it does not darken the leather. As suspected the distal end is weighted with iron rings also some iron ring at the butt end. Perhaps I am sane after all

Looks like the slave caste had to do the nasty face to face fighting.
