Well, guys. I have been ironic with the "crusader" attribution:-)
I am unaware of any surviving Sudanese swords with medieval European blades, or even Mamluk ones. Was it possible to find one really-really old blade 300-500 years ago? Who knows? Perhaps. My Time Machine is in the garage right now ( you know, oil, filters, tranny is acting up, carburetor needs cleaning, heavy water tank is leaking, unobtainium has degraded... the usual...). As soon as Mr. Lou finishes his job and pockets my check, I shall let you know.
