The picture came from this book :
AFRIKANISCHE WAFFEN (African weapons) by Werner Fischer and Manfred A. Zirngibl (1978) There's also a second book by one of these authors : SELTENE AFRIKANISCHE KURZWAFFEN (rare short african short weapons) by Manfred A. Zirngibl (1983) Both books are written in the German and English language with a lot of pics. Sometimes they pop up on ebay, but then they are very expensive. I don't know why, I just bought them from the publisher  Here's the link :https://ssl.kundenserver.de/s8782122...dex.shopscript https://ssl.kundenserver.de/s8782122...dex.shopscript |

oops
I see the link doesn't work
 Just type 'Zirngibl' in the search engine (Schnellsuche) and you will find the books
