Thank you Luc, as always your expertise in these African edged weapons is reflected in your quick and concise response. Would it be possible to key in on what particular characteristics identify this as Shona and that region?
Not questioning of course, but would like to add to my own notes as well as help readers to recognize the distinction.

Best regards,
Jim
