Just to drop in quickly, the takouba.org site is down purely because it ran on outdated software and migrating it was beginning to go beyond my technical skills. I have backups of the data however, just not the time to get it running again. Some of expressed interest in helping so it may come back to life one of these days...
My personal site is not going anywhere. On the book, there is a completed draft now, I'm happy to distribute it to those interested by email, again due to time constraints I have not seriously pursued publishing it. Quite happy to have someone else go down that route with it though! |

Jim,
I sent Briggs to your Hotmail account. It was too large to post here. Best Ed |

Tuareg Spears.
I thought this summed up this lethal weapon...

Tuareg Shield details.
Made from Oryx hide the Tuareg Shield is massive. It may also be steeped in superstition and it goes back thousands of years in traditional history.. Please see https://web.prm.ox.ac.uk/weapons/ind...-15/index.html

Just to add that the spear and or the shield can often be seen used in Takouba fighting drills and practice with the sword.. Peter Hudson
