Sorry for being so laconic...in your post #9 you responded to my question regarding information on the Bali by saying you got the weapon in Brussels and I could not see the connection. While laconic responses are popular around here I'm not too good at them

sorry.

Best regards,
Jim

Dear Jim, I'm sorry it's my fault, sure there is no connection... I did not understand well... I don't know why, but I did not think about Bali as on the tribe... Last my days coming so fast...

No problem Greg, miscommunications happen all the time so thanks for the understanding....looks like Tim's examples are pretty close match.....nice weapon you have shown here.

All the best,
Jim

Personally I think Greg's piece is undoubtedly from the same area. The natural defensive geography of the Nigeria/Cameroon border area led to many diverse peoples coming into close contact in a relatively small area, often fleeing the Islamic kingdoms of the Sahel.
