This type of sword is quite commonly found world wide, and I never wondered where it exactly comes from.

But the names in this thread seem confusing.
Mandinka = west Africa, Gambia / Senegal, Guinnee Bissau.

But than there is a book about the Sokoto Caliphate, which is north Nigeria.
I guess at leats 500 miles eastwards.

What is the correct tribe of these swords ?

Best regards,
