Hi
I have seen this sort of hilt on African short swords quite different to this. One was for sale on a well known ethnographic weapon site on the internet. I would have bought it but know i would have problems from customs importing it Congratulations. A great acquisition. |

IS THE CROCODILE A MALE OR FEMALE? ? THE ANSWER IS ITS A MUMMY
I LIKE THESE ODD AND SOMEWHAT CREEPY ITEMS IT IS CERTIANLY WORTHY TO HANG ON THE WALL AT THE HOME OF THE ADAMS FAMILY OR AT THE MUNSTERS.  VERY APPROPRIATE FOR HALLOWEEN
