Shi sword for comment

Thank you all for the comments. There are wild rabbits in Africa - I would say they are common. The fur could be monkey, too ( I think there is more possibilities). Congoblades, thanks for nice pictures - I did not see such "superb" styles of the Shi swords till now. It ´s also nice o see the couple - dagger and sword in the same style. BTW, there are varieties (different handles etc.) - which other groups used this style sword (Tutsi ??) ?
Regards,
Martin

The one with fur and decorated scabbard should be Hutu - Tutsi.
These swords were worn to the rear of the head
