"Mad Mahdi" Dagger

[COLOR=Green]Greetings To All !

Here is one of my recent finds at a militaria show at Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.
I believe it to be a late 19th Century Sudanese dagger. I don't think it is an 'arm dagger', it does not have a arm strap or any evidence of ever having one.
Since this does not appear to be an arm dagger, how would this be worn since it does not have a 'belt loop' either ?

Any comments / information would be most welcomed and appreciated !

Thank you and enjoy the posted pix !
