To be honest, I went to buy some African swords when I saw that shield and I particularly liked it. So I bought it, relatively cheap, without knowing anything about it, thought it was African
But knowing I have an old and authentic Bontoc Igorot reinforced war shield showing traces of use during wartime made my day. Perhaps I'll have a look for an axe.
