Congratulation, it is a real beauty, and the condition it is in, being that old is fantastic.

These highly adorned koras were no doubt owned by royalty or military commanders. The o/a length is 26" with the blade and hilt representing very high quality, but the wrapping on the grip is the same found on a common soldier's model. I have no provenance on this piece and can only trace it back two owners.
