African dagger for I.D.

Martin Lubojacky · 1st September 2013, 06:06 PM

Hi Colin and Iain,

I have never seen such dagger before. Nevertheless, the decoration on the blade reminds me Dadia, Tula, Fali, Movu..... And the iron safeguard is like on the Mandara mountains (kapsiki ?) swords. So I would also say Cameroon, province de l´Extreme-Nord.
Maybe it could be important piece of collection of sahel daggers, as I said, I have never seen such variety before.
Regards,

Martin
