It's an arm dagger likely made in Bida by the Nupe. The all brass hilt and scabbard is distinctive.
Thanks Iain I tend to lump them as Toureg though I know I should not.Its a bad habit. There are so many groups in that area. I do not know enough to know Taureg from Fulani from Hausa from Nupe et al. So always great to learn more from someone who does know the differences.
