Curious Tuareg "Telek Dagger?"

Nice daggers Martin.

I've seen all these types before, but I've near really heard much about the different styles and if they represent different groups and locations.

In modern times it always seemed like these styles had become general "Sahel" styles, kind of like Tebu pommels.

Thanks for sharing, I wonder if there are any good sources to read about these? I'm only familiar with the more traditional cross hilted teleks.
