I really have to stop this. When I see something what seems good and cheap to my eyes I bid. I think it is from Congo, the seller stated it is Konda but I have found a similar knife on page 174 by "panga na visu" no. 404 described as efamba from the Imoma, Bokala or Booli. I think it has had once copper or brass bindings at the handle. Would like to read your comments on this knife, age, quality and exact orign when possible.

![]() But onto the sword - I agree looks like it once had brass copper binding on the hilt. I have always seen these labelled as Konda. But there seems to be some variance in the form, some have more fullers/line decoration... Hopefully one of the Congo experts will be by with more answers! At the price you paid thought you can't really go wrong! |

Western Mongo is the generic name, such tribes as Konda, Kundu, Imoma...
