Nice Sudanese Dagger For Comment
This just arrived today. There is an inscription at the base of the blade that needs a translation?

Hello Lew, a beautiful piece indeed!!! I love the scabbard (one of the most beautiful that I have seen!) and the patination on the handle is wonderful!! If I'm correct the date is 1316=1899/1900. Congratulations

Lew,
That is one of the most beautiful Sudanese arm daggers I have ever seen. The scabbard is really really super (it is silver isn't it?), the inscriptions on the ricasso are marvelous and I agree with Flavio that the patina on the grip is very nice. Ernst |
