This daggers were acquired in Libyan Sahara, except the upper one, which is from shop. But the lowest one is allegedly from Agadez/Niger by origin. Except the upper one they were used, I would say, for a long time.

Another type of Tuareg daggers. Does anybody have experience or knowledge concerning the place of their origin ? They were bought from poor Tuaregs in Ubari Oasis area, but those people said they came from Air in Niger ...

Nice daggers Martin.
 I've seen all these types before, but I've near really heard much about the different styles and if they represent different groups and locations. In modern times it always seemed like these styles had become general "Sahel" styles, kind of like Tebu pommels. Thanks for sharing, I wonder if there are any good sources to read about these? I'm only familiar with the more traditional cross hilted teleks. Iain |
