Dagger
Not found. In Dorothee Hecht's catalogue, a dagger with the no. Vw 1.0-52/2a has been identified as this object. However, it corresponds neither to the measurements nor to the small sketch on the old index card. The spelling of the cultural attribution varies in the sources; on the old index cards in the museum the designation "Bangua" is predominantly used.

Description
From 1903, Strümpell was no longer in West Cameroon, but in North Cameroon. In that year, however, violent military interventions took place to "pacify" the region under Wilhelm Langheld. It is possible that the knife was forcibly appropriated by members of the German Schutztruppe and later handed over to Strümpell.
