It's not brand new, it could use a good cleaning, but it's inexpensive.

The cross-shaped sword is a Tuareg takouba, the weapon of choice for warriors, some of whom were still wearing chainmail and other equipment used by knights during the Crusades at the beginning of the 20th century, equipment that had somehow ended up in Africa.
Sometimes takoubas are fitted with good old European blades, but that's not the case here.
The sword with its checkered scabbard is quite impressive for a collector.
We're also including a dagger with a flaming blade, which, contrary to some false claims, wasn't designed to make straight holes when its user was trembling!
Its scabbard is made of engraved black leather. For a beginner's collection, it's quite eclectic and worth a look.
