Small sudanese dagger

[Flavio]

Hi all! I have bought this one, seems a nice one even if the blade seems heavy pitted from rust. Well I wait until it's here for a good clean and than I'll see what I have in the hands :) The seller says that on the handle is bone

Hi Flavio,
nice arm dagger, if the pommel end is silver ..there is a good chance that the bone could be elephant Ivory.

Regards David

Hello David, the seller says that the pommel is silver... I hope you're right and from pics seems ivory more than bone. Thank you :)

The blade needs a good cleaning otherwise its a nice old example early 20th century 1900 and yes I think it's silver and ivory :)

Although the african weapons are not my field of interest and admiration, I must say that looking at this small collection a feeling of admiration for some pieces comes up.

Nice pieces Lew, thanks for sharing

Do you remember this one (http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showpost.php?p=1501&postcount=15) from Oriental-Arms (http://www.oriental-arms.com/item.php?id=776)?

[Flavio]

EXCELLENT PIECE!!!! Thank you :)

[Lee]

One really has to wonder if it is not from the same maker as the 4th one down in Lew's fine collection above.

Last year I had the opportunity to buy this beauty. :)

How can I keep my focus on Borneo when these beatifull african pieces keep comming along :shrug:

[Flavio]

Beautiful dagger Willem :) dimensions?

[asomotif]

Somewhere around 24/25 cms I guess.

The toppart is ivory with a silver ferule
The leatherwork on these scabbards is always amazing.
How do they make them ? so fine / firm and of various kinds of leather.

[Flavio]

The dagger is here and it is indeed very nice with silver end cup and ivory pommel!!! The blade is heavy pitted but now that is clean is still a nice find and very cheap!!

[Flavio]

Some other nice daggers :)
