Geoffrey,
Thank you for your assessment of the Sudanese dagger and narrowing down its age to about 100+ years. Close enough to call it "antique." That is a very beautiful dagger that you show. Congratulations on finding such a prestigious piece. I am grateful that I ended up with an "above average" example out of this lot. |

Hi Ian,
A beautiful Sudanese arm dagger of very good quality. The second long dagger is indeed a Shona dagger of good age, old or antique and has nothing to do with a Shi sword. Here: http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showth...ghlight=dagger you can see an arm dagger which I sold years ago, also with inscription on the blade. Regards, Detlef |

Its a leather tribal repair to the handle. Maybe the handle was broken, very solid. Best regards Marc |
