Looks like a Tutsi or Shi sickle sword (Congo, Rwanda)

Thanks for your answers.
African was also my first idea because of the bend tang at the bottom of the grip - a typical african way to fasten the grip to the tang. But maybe someone elsewhere had the same idea... Sure it looks similar to a Tutsi sickle, but I have never seen such a form. The Tutsi sickles I know have allways the ?-shape at the upper part and a flat profile there. |
