Silver Sudanese Arm Dagger for share

G. Mansfield · 9th October 2017, 03:45 AM

Finally had the chance to catch another early Sudanese arm dagger with some decoration. It was a little smaller than I had first presumed but I am still very pleased with the quality of it. The blade is well crafted much like the earlier ones with a raised central ridge. It is pictured next to another arm dagger which was previously purchased from Lew's collection for size comparison.

Provenance/Region of Origin: Sudan
Date: Early 20th Century
Overall Length W/ Sheath: 11” (approx. 28cm)
Hilt & Blade Length: 10 ¾” (approx. 27cm)
Blade Length: 6 ¾ ” (approx. 17cm)
