19c Sudanese Sabre?
Just aquired this one. Described by auctioneer as an 19c Sudanese sabre.
The scabbard does look Sudanese, the sabre shows western influence, if not mfg. Any comments, discussion would be appreciated, Thanks in advance. No dimensions yet, should arrive next week. I'll update then. |

 Tweaked the stampings ones, is that an ethiopean lion stamp, lettering looks like coptic rather than arabic. Last edited by kronckew; 5th March 2022 at 01:39 PM. |

Wilco. Looks like it may need a bit of cleaning too. Will use my HDR camera & try for better side lighting to contrast the letters. |

The last pic has a stamp that looks like an Ethiopian lion, and the lettering in the fuller looks like what has been IDed on other threads as Ethiopian. Could be an Eritrean/Beni Amer adapted Ethiopian military sword.
