Help to ID this Congolese weapon

LPCA · 24th March 2009, 11:36 AM

Bonjour, friends.
A new study is on to implement my site BLADE with Couteaux du Congo Belge. Some of the blades i collected are remaining to ID, difficult for me, surely easy for some guys of you.
Scabbard is 2 wooden parts tied with rattan. Overall lenght is 56 cm. Blade is 43,5 cm. long and 11 cm. large.
Blade is of a nice forge and is patterned with dots.
Of course, i wandered among documentation and net to approach the truth. without success.
Which ethnie, tribe, name of the weapon (some have), which documentation or URL?.

Would be great to clear... others unknown of me will follow.

Best to you.
