hello together
I had completely forgotten to introduce myself, sorry. My name is Christoph, I'm 42 years old and come from Switzerland. I'm collecting for more than 25 years of weapons. I started with firearms, edged weapons, and then to the army for 15 years Ethnology knives and daggers of max. Length 50cm (with exceptions).ca. 300 pieses across through the world. I finance my hobby when I buy something little and then sell, mainly Army edged weapons. I hope you can learn a lot and a little bit of me. This is my kingdom, foto grüsse chregu |

hello and many thanks for the greeting
I collect knives and daggers, makes sense a length limit. By raising is also available: keris bali, barong, moro keris, Khyber knife, Mandau ...... with the images it will take some time. a question: where do I put pictures to introduce you to? |

Christoph
Nice group of daggers. From left to right. 1) An Afar Jile/gile dagger mid 20th century. 2) A Beja dagger 1940-50? 3) A Possible Hausa dagger mid 20th century. 4) Sudanese arm dagger circa 1890-1900. 5) Another Hausa or Sudanese dagger 1940? 6) A Somali Bilao dagger 1930s-50. 7) Another nice Sudanese arm dagger 1900-1920 need to see the blade to be sure? 8and 9 are Sudanese but seem touristy to me 1940s-50s? 10) Another Somali dagger 1920s-40. Bottom right two more Somali daggers the small one is more recent the other is much older. Can't really tell much about the others but they seem Sudanese. |
