Thank you for your comments.
That's certainly why the starting price was hopefully low...
Yes the hilt shows aventurescence on some parts of the hilt,
crazy indeed, it was the principal lot in the double page catalogue describing 20-30 other lots,
with a large picture of the hilt and described as jade hilt and 19th century...
sure I didn't believe it was a mughal period hilt or made of thick jade jadeite hilt but at least something correct...
for the sudanese blade idea, it can be, I found looks like on oriental arms
( not the flat tourist blades, this one is half cm thick and well sharpened )
So it ''must'' be arabic, any idea about the date/signature ??
