This is the biggest and nicest one I have seen. You will not doubt the potential of these swords again. The blade 61cm long, the over all size from tip to tip is 81cm. I show it next to the more standard long version. I am looking for £60 or a swap. If you like Islamic or East African weapons you will not be dissapointed. PM or email me.

Thanks Tim - payment sent. I'm particularly interested in this because Sir Richard Francis Burton is one of my heroes and he had a rather famous encounter with a bunch of Somalis using these, amongst other weapons. He also described Somalian weapons of his time in a couple of his books.
If you or anybody else here knows any more about these swords or has any links to more information I'd be very interested. Best regards, Matt |

Matt, I'm an admirer of Burton as well (ever since I first saw "Mountains of the Moon"
