Kai, I guess you mean the knife with the curved blade.
It has a mark, but it's nothing I could read. But I can say this : it's entirely made of bronze and quite heavy. The African sword was used by the following tribes : Boa, Hanga, Angba, Mba en Benge, all from Congo. It has an ivory handle, but unfortunately it was a later addition.....and a bad one. It consist of a hollow piece of ivory filled with plaster
