So it is very good that you are the winner! The very nice ivory (?) hilt was what let me bid on it so I agree complete with you about the hilt. I don't have enough understanding about african weapons to give a estimation about the age but when I look to the other thread I have given in my post before I think that you will be correct! Again congrats for this very nice addition to your collection!

Attached one more picture from the ivory hilt.
