Very odd Sudanese sword for discussion

Flipping through an old sale catalogue, I found this - described as "a fine Spanish exhibition sword, in the style of the 15th century". Perhaps the inspiration for the hilt appendages....??

the hilt looks like the indians took the fresh from the mold pieces and did not cut off the sprues, just flattened them a bit & added a few decorative lines.

you can fool some of the people ...
