Again, I applaud you unbelievable luck with this great score. I hope that you have more of the same in store for you for years to come. I do not collect African weapons as you know, but non the less I am starting to get a bit jealous of your good fortune. Keep up the good work.

Best, Robert

Thank's again Robert! I have learned by the years of collecting and my low budget to look for the sleepers by ebay and elsewhere, sometimes I have good luck, sometimes not. I have start my collecting with keris and other weapons from Indonesia, later I get interest in Philippine weapons and now I see that the african, special from Central Africa, weapons have something fascinating also. But frankly said I would give away a Congo blade for something from Indonesia or the Philippines.

Regards,

Detlef

Sajen, yours is older than Tim's example dating probably before 1920.
Tim's sword was probably made between the 2 world war's.
