Some thoughts out loud regarding the names of African weapons.

In 1870, Alsace-Moselle was annexed by Germany. German troops occupied Klingenthal and seized all the weapons there.
Perhaps these sabers were stored in warehouses and captured.

A new addition to the collection.

Finally found a decent cummiya.

A prestigious item, a good forged blade, ivory (not banned in my country), silver, and gold plated.

I welcome your comments.
