Lew,
Thanks for posting the fantastic Sudanese dagger!!! Artzi definitely has a knack for presenting outstanding items.
The four pronged geometric stamp at the forte is most interesting, any ideas on its meaning? Could it be makers mark/arsenal stamp?
The silverwork seems consistant with kaskara mountings found in Darfur, would this be considered a Fur weapon?

Best regards,
jim
