Arm dagger ... or arm sword ?
This weapon would be from central Sahara ... Tibesti ?
Similar to an arm dagger, but with a blade 83 cms (32 1/2") long. Are these specimens, with such long blade, currently seen ? Could this one have some age or, instead, modern tourist stuff ? I would be much obliged your coments, Gentlemen Fernando |

Thank you for your precious input, Lew.
It is not yet mine ... and will hardly be . I tend to favour older items, and i had already suspected this piece was not so aged. Thanks again. Fernando |
