Hello friends,
For some time I have these two African daggers.I would be grateful if you can identify them.Unfortunately Africa for me is Terra incognita :shrug:

The bottom one is Tebu/Tubu - a forum search should produce some results of similar daggers.

The top one is very nice and from Western Africa, but I am honestly not quite certain where from exactly - Mauritania, Senegal, Mali?

The tassels on the scabbard of the top one are distinctive to West Africa, possibly Mali or Senegal. The knife is not familiar to me :shrug:
