Many thanks Lee and Jim for your most informative comments.
Should you ever visit Scotland, I can recommend a visit to Blair Castle in Perthshire - in the ballroom is a fantastic collection of swords, drums, daggers, jibbehs etc, etc, brought back from Omdurman by Lord Tullibardine in 1898. Best regards Colin |

Colin
You might find this of interest? Seems that the kaskara still plays a major role even in todays Beja society. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lHIQQpHnAAw http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e18jOkmOpgs&NR=1 |
