I got this today. It is heavily made like a mail piercing dagger getting heavier towards the tip to 4.5 mm. The total length of the dagger is 36 cm. It looks as if it would have hung from a belt? like anyother dagger. Knowing there was little shortage of iron in this part of Africa, I find the quality of this brass example most interesting. I suppose daggers like this will always remain a mystery as there has been little if any serious study of weapons or artifacts from this area . I hope some of you also find it appealing. Tim
