Hi Jim and Richard,

Agree with the Dongola attribution after seeing the references, certainly no reason to suspect something else.

The Hausa do have a somewhat T hilted form, but is quite different in construction and the pommel is much fatter. Good example from David:

As always, fantastic info from Jim and lots to read up on.
