Help with identification
 

Your thoughts on this item would be appreciated please. Personally I think it reminds of one of the daggers that you sometimes see in the Sudanese trousse sets. Although this dagger does not have Thuluth script on the blade. I have also seen daggers from india using this type of horn for their handles. Apologizes for the lack of good close ups, I need to get a digital camera with a good macro facility or lens.

Thanks

Hey TaffJones,

These are tourist knives. I remember buying some in Egypt at alHussain market. They are probably made in Sudan but could be any part of Africa.

Salam Dom,

I have been in Cairo 3 times. Crazy place but has some feeling attached to it :P

Thanks for everybodys help once again

you come to Cairo ... when I'm not there ...! :eek:
or, you don't tell me nothing :confused: .... I joke :p

Cairo ... crazy ... the word is weak :rolleyes:
I does some pictures (I'll put them soon), when I visited the "museum Islamic Cairo"
but very few "edged weapons" ... as well as to Military Museum of Cairo, at the Citadel Salah el Din,
I went some years ago to visit this last museum, and I've been very disappointed :mad:
