Sudanese Hausa dagger 19th century?

[Dusti]

Hi Jim

I have indeed enjoyed the mystery of them up til now. They are probably the most unusual things I have around the house and definitely more interesting than the claymore sword my son gifted me. However, my husband has to have a bone marrow transplant in the very near future and that's how they ended up back on my desk. Now, I get to mull over the pros and cons and decide just how much I like them.

Thanks again for all the information and the kind words.

A collection could be a single item, the entire purpose of collecting is to enjoy the item or items you have. It is absolutely not about hoarding or trying to outdo anyone else..its completely personal. Both your daggers are nice examples, and clearly have thier own stories to tell. Enjoy them!
All the best,
