Default Another Ethiopian Blade rehilted.

Here is an earlier link to an Ethiopian blade which has been rehilted, probably in the tribal regions of North Africa.
The blade is Solingen.

Since the original post, this sword has now come to me for safe keeping, and there was further discussion regarding the blade in a later post which I can not locate. Anyway, the thought was that the blade had started life being straight and had later been reforged.
I do not agree with this, as the filigree work in the fullers would have been "stretched" had this occured. The filigree is consistant throughout the curve.
Attached are a couple of pics, one from the original post, and another recent one. You will note that the knucklebow has now been replaced.
