When looking for a quick quide on what I might have


I use Lew's collection as my first point of reference

I never communicated with this man but whenever I browse his collection I do reflect on what a helpful informed man he was RIP.

Hi Ken,
I was not aware of this link so thank you very much.

Nice blade, I think this is an older example (due to the leather work too), however, I would like to point out that the "guard" (for lack of a better term) seems to be missing.

In addition to Lew's collection, you can find two other important collections online, where you can see lots of photographs of African swords and knives as well as interesting information:
http://www.memoire-africaine.com/armes.html
http://www.africanarms.com/gallery

Saluti.
