Geoffrey, 
 
Thank you for your assessment of the Sudanese dagger and narrowing down its age to about 100+ years. Close enough to call it "antique." That is a very beautiful dagger that you show. Congratulations on finding such a prestigious piece.  
 
I am grateful that I ended up with an "above average" example out of this lot.
