Sudanese? Throwing knife

I have had this item hanging around for a while and have never really managed to find out much about it. From my limited reference works I have always given it a Sudanic origin, I do however find these throwing weapons somewhat confusing and would welcome all opinions.

The knife is 63cm long, it looks to be of good age. All the edges have been sharp at some point in its life. I have included a photo of the blade markings.The bottom of the handle has the remains of a leather grip. Regards Andy
