Hi Everyone,

Wuzzup Brooklyn!!!

I'm a newbie collector with a big interest in swords from the Sahel and Europe. This is the best place, I find, for my continuing research into the subject.

This piece was bought on ebay in the summer and I've been looking for similar pieces ever since.
Here's a picture I found with a similar sword from CAPTAIN CANOT; OR,

TWENTY YEARS OF AN AFRICAN SLAVER

Notice the sword the sword-bearer is carrying.
