Wonderful sword Bill, congratulations!!!
I don't think it's salampasu even if the scabbard is very similar to the salampasu ones... on the book "Waffen aus Zentral-Afrika" there is a sword identical and is attributed to the Pendi or Bagandi tribe... Tomorrow I will post a picture of the book. Flavio |

Well find Flavio.I have not find PENDI, but PINDI a small group at the west of the MBUUM, and to the north of the West PENDE group.Same linguistic group of the PENDE (Bantu).
Here a Pindi sword from the Poppe collection. And a HUNGANA and PENDE sword to search influences ?? Luc |

Thank you Flavio and Luc. I did not see Flavio's post earlier than today. Almost looks like a picture of my same sword! The dealer I bought mine from thought it was 19th c.
