Sudanese Arm Dagger For Comment

Hi Guys

This just arrived today. Another arm dagger for my growing African collection. Don't ask me why I just really like this style of knife and I think this is number four with another on it's way. This one has a 8" blade and a rather plain wood handle. The scabbard is quite nicely done with lizard skin trim. On on side of the scabbard there is a symbol or letters which was later translated by one of my friends as "Allah". My guess is mid 20th century as far as age goes. Any other comments or information will be appreciated.
