Lew thank you very much for this info. The sheath on yours looks also great. Unfortunatley no sheaths were kept in this collection - alle blades come without a sheath....
Is this the type of weapon that was common in that period?

Yes it was quite common but yours is of higher quality. These arm daggers are still being produced in the Sudan but are of crappy quality.
