I had this sword in hand, I think Ngombe / Doko, more than Ngbandi / Yakoma, because of the specific engravings and signature.
We can see this sort of decoration on Ngombe / Doko execution knife also. But, we are in the same area, I'm going to search in my books Luc |

Look at these engravings on Ngombe Doko execution knives, they are very similar to the one on the sword.

A Ngbandi blade with a Ngombe hilt? Could be there was intertribal trading between the two groups?
