Hi Marc,

This was fast! Like I said before, I also have never seen such a crossguard! And thanks for the possible Hausa origin!

Regards,
Detlef

Thank you all for these very interesting thoughts. If I may summarize, the knife's handle shape and construction can be dated to at least the 17th century, possibly even the 16th. One theory is that...

Thank you Jim and Akanthus! :) Interesting thought that the blade could have been once much longer Jim! That would mean that it was once a so-called Hirschfaenger?

Hello Rob, Very nice and interesting dagger!...

Hello Rob,

Very nice and interesting dagger! :) For me it's just the name game. I wouldn't be surprised that "s'boula" and "shula" are only different spellings for curved dagger and the...

Thank you for your comment! Your age guess surprised me a little bit, my careful guess was 1700's but you may know better. My hope is that someone could recognize the maker mark but we have to wait...

Dagger for identification and discussion

I just won this, in my opinion, very nice and also very old dagger by auction. It's 34 cm long and it's said that the blade is heavy. On one side is the blade marked.
I think that this dagger is...

Where does this sheath come from?

I won a lot with three keris at a German auction. One of them is this one in the picture. Where is this scabbard style from?

Thank you for your thoughts! ;)

Hi Marc,

The handle is indeed from ivory, the first mandau I've seen with such a handle. The handle also shows a very nice carving and also a face. Laminated mandau blades are also very rare and...
