Ed,
A question on the crossguards with the notable 'X' at the center junction. I had always thought these were 'Darfur' from Reed (1987). What are the particulars on this feature?
Also, was there a period post Mahdiyya (or before) when Solingen sent already forged guards to Sudanese areas?

All the best
Jim
