Nice group of daggers. From left to right.

1) An Afar Jile/gile dagger mid 20th century.

2) A Beja dagger 1940-50?

3) A Possible Hausa dagger mid 20th century.

4) Sudanese arm dagger circa 1890-1900.

5) Another Hausa or Sudanese dagger 1940?

6) A Somali Bilao dagger 1930s-50.

7) Another nice Sudanese arm dagger 1900-1920 need to see the blade to be sure?

8and 9 are Sudanese but seem touristy to me 1940s-50s?

10) Another Somali dagger 1920s-40.

Bottom right two more Somali daggers the small one is more recent the other is much older.

Can't really tell much about the others but they seem Sudanese.
