Thanks for sharing this with us Carlos.
That's an interesting barung in the last photo. How common are barung with false edges like that? Come to think of it, that beveled edge looks odd as well. Carlos, do you recall what that stamp at the forte is? |

The third pic from Tarragona, underneath the butt of the Kabyle gun, there is a saber with anthropomorphic handle(black wood and some incrustations).
Any info what is it? North African? There is a label next to it but can't read it. |
