Just a couple of thoughts
First the sword posted by Freddy looks to me like a ladieng perhaps with a a hulu rumpung. Local made blades for these were often laminated.
Second the animal motif on the sword posted by Fernado does indeed resemble a kastane. I have never seen that on an african sword before is it common ?
