Yesterday I bought this dagger, but can not make him indentifizieren.
The handle is ivory: length 8.2 cm
the blade: 32cm thickness of 2mm width 3.7 cm
age: 1880/1920?
am grateful to every opinion.

Hello Chregu,

I think it is either Mangbetu or Abarambo.

Gruss,

Martin

hello Martin
Many thanks for the type, Mangbetu was my idea, I just found not to honor pieces. have even more Africans to judge.
what do you think the age?
gruss chregu

Mangbetu is my thought also circa 1900-30. Luc is better at this than me he should know.

Yes, Mangbetu, no problem, circa 1900.
