Arm dagger ... or arm sword ?

4 Attachment(s)

This weapon would be from central Sahara ... Tibesti ?
Similar to an arm dagger, but with a blade 83 cms (32 1/2") long.
Are these specimens, with such long blade, currently seen ?
Could this one have some age or, instead, modern tourist stuff ?
I would be much obliged your coments, Gentlemen

Thank you for your precious input, Lew.
It is not yet mine ... and will hardly be :shrug: .
I tend to favour older items, and i had already suspected this piece was not so aged.
Thanks again.
Fernando
