Martin and Tim have of course correctly IDed the region for this piece. What I wanted to ask Colin, if I'm looking at the photos correctly, the blade is mounted by means of a new forte to the hilt? This would be the first time I have seen this feature in this region, although it is not uncommon in takouba.
