Re: Antique Swords

Unfortunately, these are not medieval swords. The type is called a Kaskara, a type of sword used primarily in Chad and the Sudan. Good general info here.

The double crescent moon stamp is common on Kaskaras. Swords of this type and in the condition these appear to be in fetch about $100.00 to $125.00
