Hi Chris

glad you find the site interesting Find it one of the best for Congolese weapons, it was linked tome some time ago by a forum member.

I think you are right in your thoughts concerning the hilt decoration and still believe that your sword is Kuba but handle decoration apart I can see where you and the other forum members of the forum are coming from in thinking it is Bena Luala due to the form of the blade which is not the common form of the Kuba blades.

Regards

Miguel
