You are bidding on a very old Takuba sword used by the Tuareg people. This is from my personal collection and was a restoration project. Now I have no time or money to put into this sword as I am fixing a Japanese Tanto blade right now. So my loss is your gain, this is a rare piece, even in this condition. It shows alot of wear as you can see in the pictures and is blunt at the tip. T are original markings. This comes with matching scabbard that is leather, but also not in the best condition. Great for restoration purposes or to be displayed as is. The whole sword is 34.5 inches with about a 28 inch blade. Please email me with any questions or if you need other pictures.
