Hi Bill,
I believe Tim's comments about the possible origin of this type of small sword / scabbard are correct. In that the design is regional, rather than 'tribe specific'. I have this in my collection, I was assured by the seller that it was Bamum and was described as a 'King's' knife ...maybe.. I have never seen its equal  http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showthread.php?t=2714 Kind Regards David . |

I risk being a crashing bore if I am not already.
I only recieved this book today from a small seller through amazon for a truly amazing £8. What is nice, is the previous illustrious owner who has very kindly left lots of pencil edits and highlights. Lucky Lucky. Now thats what you call VooDoo  http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/obit...k-Willett.html Last edited by Tim Simmons; 17th November 2008 at 09:01 PM. |
