An Unusual Ethiopian Short Sword

800 million?? Man, people must be tripping over them.....

Thank you for posting the info. I've wondered about that coin popping up on Abyssinian swords for some time now.

Here is an ended auction with a couple of interesting fellows (the spears are nice too). They look a lot like mine, but less ornate:

These don't pop up much. At least I haven't seen them often. Is this a style that someone has seen documented?
