This sword of the SAKA people of Zaire is coming right out of one of the best collection of African blades I ever seen. Only items of top quality and best condition. Just look on the blade forging compared to the usual African blades you see on the market. The blade is 13 inches long with central ridge and side fullers. Wood hilt covered with brass and bound with copper strip. Very good condition, minor damages to the edges. For you – the connoisseur collector of African blades.
