Nice gurade. The leather wrapped around the scabbard is a belt. I have never seen a gurade worn in any other way. The Ethiopian and Eritrean tribes who use the Sudanese kaskara will, of course, wear it over the shoulder. The belt of the gurade is laced to the scabbard in such a way that the gurade is worn almost horizontal to the ground. Very unconfortable in a crowed place..... E-mail me if you want an estimate.

Thank for your kind offer, but I wasn't looking for an appraisal. I was trying establish what this item is and what about gave it it's value, and how to judge that value in hopes it might take an interest in them.

Although I find them interesting, they don't really light a fire in me.

The history if fascinating. I appreciate your sharing of that also. Thank you.
