A few more interesting images. A 1883 photo of a Mahdist warrior.
Two images from inside the museum at Zinder, one showing the rarely seen short throwing darts and the second a Portuguese helmet.
Finally an image from the 1950s from the court in Katsina, the bodyguard of the emir (in the traditional red and green of Hausa court guards) has the tip of his scabbard showing with the usual long chap often seen on higher end Hausa swords.
