IS THIS AN AFRICAN DAGGER ? PAGING THE EXPERTS

Hi Fernando the book is Afrikanische Waffen (Fischer - Zirngibl). About the age: the decoration on the scabbard seems nice done even if the brass seems quite thin around the open work. More the different hilt could simply a variation or a more recent work. The pieces for references were collected all in the early 900 so yours could be around 1950, but it's just a guess
