This is not that old and has been well kept, It has a native made blade like yours, so to be fair yours would have belonged to a pretty ropey royal household

Tim, yours is very nice as well. Thanks for the pic. Does yours have engravings in the blade too? What time frame is it from? and if you don't mind me asking, how much is it worth? Feel free to e-mail me off the forum if you'd like. Thanks again, Jason

Hi brabbit ,

I'd say it's worth whatever the highest bidder would pay for it .

African stuff tends to be somewhat undervalued in the marketplace today .

I'm sure you are aware from reading the posting rules that we don't appraise pieces here .

I wasn't looking for an appraisle. I'm really just trying to find as much info about it as possible.
