From an old, renowned Cologne collection I offer this ceremonial sword - DR Congo, probably Poto/Ngombe ethnicity, 1910 - 1930. Good wooden grip, very balanced. Mopamba blade. Transition of the blade guilloché (grip eyes). Strong, lubricated/polished pattern along the entire blade. Length: 52 cm. The seller guarantees that he has the right to sell the goods and to export. No deliveries outside the EU.
