Iain,

Except of this one I have the rest in Prague, so when I arrive I will post some (but this is just people and landscape)
Regards,
Martin

For the archives, found this one that went through a sale auction in 2009.

Described as a Kirdi short sword, original description below :

"Dating: circa 1900
Provenence: Camerun
Lama dritta, con punta incurvata, a due fili, costolata al centro; elso in ferro a "V", pomo a fungo, impugnatura in legno rivestita di trecciola in cuoio. Fodero in legno rivestito in cuoio e pelle di rettile.
Illustrata in "Islamic and Native Weapons of Colonial Africa 1800-1960" di Anthony C. Tirri, pag. 431 ill. 6-11."
