My first sudanese silver armdagger for comment

Hi Marc and Duccio, both arm dagger examples are from around mid-20th century or shortly after, but are good examples for that approximate date. The quality dramatically decreased after this time period. Here are two from my collection. The larger is dated and marked 1328 (1900/1901) "Omdurman" and on reverse "Al Kartoum." The smaller dagger is likely around the same time period as well.

Regards, Geoff

Hi Geof
Thanks for your reaction and posting your verry fine daggers.
Do you consider the 1900/1901 omdurman date a manufacturing date or a memorial date?
Greetings
Marc
