Please excuse the poor photo , but I wondered if anyone can help me with the ID of this dagger please ?

It looks West African to me. I'd say it is Mandinka but it is a broad guess.

Hi,
These types of daggers are commonly attributed to Mande speaking people groups of West Africa, my guess for a more specific ID would be Soninke or Malinke in Senegambia, Mauritania, and/or Mali. - ADS |
