Strange Sudanese Blade
I picked this up today. Seems to be a Beja tribe blade?

That is a Hadendoa blade. It should have an X hilt.

Thanks All
I knew that the blade was from a X hilt dagger what is interesting is this is the first time I saw this style of blade decorated with a crocodile motif  . Until now I have only seen this design on straight bladed daggers.Lew |

Lew, it cannot be too hard to find an "x" hilt for such an interesting blade
 . Beautiful engraving.
