Thanks Michael, I know which one you mean.
But the copperwindings of yours looks more patinated. Maybe mine had to much polishing in the past.

I will post the pics of the blade (both sides) in the next replying post beneath, maybe Ben can see something in it which can tell exactly what tribe it is.
