Hi Teodor
I have that book: wafen aus zentral Afrika in my collection but it is the only picture i have from a takouba with that kind off handle.
No books on takouba's and kaskara's so, i've found the most info on this forum, and true the forum found Ian Norman's takouba research society.
He also mentions Wafen aus zentral Afrika along with a takouba (73) fulani, cameroon on his site. So i guess mine is also from that area, just as my example with the solid cast handle.
Every info on the swords is more than welcome.

Greetings
Marc
