Help with identification
Your thoughts on this item would be appreciated please. Personally I think it reminds of one of the daggers that you sometimes see in the Sudanese trousse sets. Although this dagger does not have Thuluth script on the blade. I have also seen daggers from india using this type of horn for their handles. Apologizes for the lack of good close ups, I need to get a digital camera with a good macro facility or lens.
Thanks Taff |

Hey TaffJones,
These are tourist knives. I remember buying some in Egypt at alHussain market. They are probably made in Sudan but could be any part of Africa. Lotfy |

 or, you don't tell me nothing  .... I joke Cairo ... crazy ... the word is weak  I does some pictures (I'll put them soon), when I visited the "museum Islamic Cairo" but very few "edged weapons" ... as well as to Military Museum of Cairo, at the Citadel Salah el Din, I went some years ago to visit this last museum, and I've been very disappointed  à + Dom |
