Nice find, Tim.

By looking at the head on the handle, I would say Bamileke, Cameroon.

In 'Afrikanische Waffen' by Fisher & Zirngibl (1978), I found a knife which could be from the same origin....

Red face a mistake

Sorry, Tim. Apparently, I was wrong in attributing this knife to the Luba.

In 'Rare African Short Weapons' by Manfred A. Zirngibl (1983) I found a picture of a sword almost identical to yours....

Nice display, Tim.

I like the sword/knife blade with the many curves. Where did you find this one ?

In my opinion, it's a Luba blade.

Danny, I just saw a picture in www.Mambele.be of a Budu sickle knife, which resembles mine. The handle on this one is also more of the Mangbetu-type.

Red face Last one. A little help needed

This is the axe from the junkshop. I don't think it's very old, but at 6 Euro....who cares :p

When I found it, the axe...

Talking Of this one, I'm sure !

This is definitively Mangbetu. The blade is nicely forged and a bit 'out of centre'. The handle is old ivory. Total length : 27 cm.

It's about 42 cm long. The blade is sharp, beginning from the little 'bulge' all the way to the point at the back.
It has a wooden...

First of all, I know nothing about this axe (only that it comes from Africa). Could this be Songye or Nsapo-Nsapo ?

So you are the one who got away with that axe. I was watching it, too. ;)
