Interesting african arm dagger

Hi Gene,

I've always found arm daggers an interesting field in that it's a style that spans the entire Sahel. A lot of these are invariably labeled Tuareg (kind of like takouba) or Sudanese without any further classification. A pity as there's a lot of variety out there that I suspect is linked to specific tribes and geographical areas. As always, more to learn, for me at least.

Cheers,

Iain
