Sudanese Fighting Sticks

Gav, Those Postcards are great and I like to collect old Postcards with Warriors and Weapons too.

Edster, The sword on the right was purchased by a former owner in a market in Asmara, Eritrea about 1975. And the sword on the left, the shield I obtained in Port Sudan in 2009 and was told it was made in Kassala. Also, the shield and large spearhead were obtained in Port Sudan. The rest I have bought from ebay, etc. to round out my collection. Here is a link to a previous thread where I posted detailed photos of the two swords and markings http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showthread.php?t=11798
Best Regards,
