High quality Sudanese (?) Dagger + translation
 
4 Attachment(s)
Have had this in my collection for many decades and always thought of it as Sudanese but the quality of the blade just surpasses anything I have ever encountered which was Sudanese. Would appreciate the thoughts of others . It has what appears to be Arabic script on the blade and wondered if anyone can translate for me.

Hi,
The last image is a date equivalent to 1898/9 A.D. Hope this is of some help.
Regards,
Norman.

Hello Thinreadline,

I would agree with the Sudanese/Omdurman attribution, they have well made blades, see here: http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showth...t=dagger+sudan
