Panama Macana sword

Yes I have had the same thoughts to the point where I settled on the second from the left being an African weavers sword but after more conversation and looking I do think it may be a weapon. I will post more pictures but there is a thread on it. You will see that is has the same binding marks on it as the item in this link.

However I am always open to suggestions especially with some back up. I need to show you more views of the macana it is an inch thick which seems over kill when you think of the size of loom it would be used on.

The picture is of three examples of the 4th from the left. Taken from "The Art of the Boiken, Michael Hamson" It is not heavy like a club half an inch thick. Desribed as fighting swords, I would not want one pushed into my face or chest with anger.
