Sudanese warrior question

Hopefully you folks can help. I am trying to establish when the Kaskara first appeared. Most examples I've seen are dated to the 19th century. I have read they could have been around as early as the 14th but I can't find any documentation. I am also trying to figure out when they started using chain mail and padded armor. I remember reading, on this site, an account of a medieval arms dealer being arrested for selling arms to Egypt. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
