I thought some of our members might be interested in seeing this Takouba - it was found in a market and I don't know which region it originally came from.

The blade is well-used and flexible with very straight fullers. The scabbard is partially bound in white cotton then overbound with striped cotton strip which forms the baldric. As for the rest I will let the pictures speak for themselves.
