Mandingo Chieftain's Sword and Leather scabbard
A rare and unique antique weapon: The Mandingo Chieftain's Sword, with a tattoo'd leather scabbard. A must-have for any collector.
The Manding (Mandingo) are West African people. Their traditional sword comprises a sabre like blade, guardless leather grip and scabbard with exquisite leather work. This example is a long sized example, of a high ranking Mandingo, of very nice quality and finely tattooed. 23 inches long curved blade, leather grip and leather scabbard, tooled tattooed and decorated. Of special interest is the finely bound and decorated leather work complete with two status buttons. These weapons are well known for their leather-work and the tattooing applied to the leather of the scabbards. The iron work skills are less well developed. With the fine quality blades are usually taken from European weapons such as sabres and cutlasses.
Excellent antique condition, minor isolated corrosion spots to blade, commensurate with age.
