This type of sword is quite commonly found world wide, and I never wondered where it exactly comes from.
But the names in this thread seem confusing.
Mandinka = west Africa, Gambia / Senegal, Guinnee Bissau.
But than there is a book about the Sokoto Caliphate, which is north Nigeria.
I guess at leats 500 miles eastwards.
What is the correct tribe of these swords ?
Best regards,
