Congrats Lew, the pommel looks to be aluminium...but the blade IMHO looks to be older......perhaps re-hilted? Nice sword never the less....another one that should be in MY collection

Hi All
The Somali sword arrived today it's a real nice one and the scabbard is in great shape just a bit of the tip of the leather near the point is undone otherwise it is intact. Here it is with it's two other brothers. |

I think it's aluminium but the steel tang is sandwiched into the spike some how I can see the steel coming out of the end of the spike. |
