Yep, 20th century Sudanese arm dagger. But an exceptionally beautiful example. It is the most beautiful I have seen so far.

That's why blades sould never be kept sheathed for longer storage. Many think that keeping a blade sheathed, one protects the blade but it is exactly the opposite. Sheathed blades are almost guaranteed (almost because there are few exceptions) to rust so badly that some might be completely destroyed...
