Here are the rest of my pics.

This piece has, I believe, a hilt with Kuba-influence. The top of the hilt ressembles the hilt of a Kuba-sword called 'Ilwoon' or 'Ilonda'.

Why was this blade...

Thumbs up nice

Very nice, Bill.

It's a Salampasu sword, that's sure. My guess is, that they probably used a good blade from another tribe. Like Luc said, the problem is to find which one.

I like these...

part 2

I'm still not certain what this piece is, but it's certainly not African. So it will have to go.

Very sturdy and sharp blade with a wooden handle. Total length is 64 cm.

I'm cleaning up the 'weapons room' and I'm parting with some good pieces. Here is the first one : a good sword from the Bali (Bamenda)-tribe in Cameroon. Fully intact with its wooden...

Thumbs up Central African armour

Could also be a walkingstick. But the kind which can also be used as a weapon. It's a bit short for me, but it's definitively oriental. People are smaller, so it would fit a Chinese gentleman. ;)

Question Mahdist knife

I found this one yesterday on a Belgian auction site. I think it comes from the Sudan. It has a 'Mahdist' feel to it with the Arabic inscriptions on the blade.

Tim, I don't think this 'stick' has an African origin. As far as I can judge from your pictures, you have a 'MAKILA' that is a Basque walking stick. The Basque people live in part of Spain (near the...

But its dimensions ! ! ! :eek:
