African dagger ID??

6 Attachment(s)

Hi
I would like to have some information about this dagger...I know is from africa but from where...haussa? tuareg? turkana? Could any of you give me some idea as to possible age, origin, etc.

The blade forged, very heavy and sharp...

I would appreciate any comments or information you may have.
Thanks in advance for any comments.

...I think it's from Sudan - Beja/Hadendowa. They are more often curved or a peculiar ? shape. Very nice :)

Beja dagger from the Sudan 1950-70s I would think.
