Nice daggers. I have not seen one with the triangular leather end to the scabbard before. This type I have seen attributed to Agadez in Niger, based on examples in the Quai Branly. A search of the Quai Branly database might be able to produce some results with similar decoration that may assist in dating.

Thanks, the tip of the scabbard reminds me of the tip of the tuareg spear, allar.

Mmmm...beer, chimay, rochefort,.... excellent, but we are deviating. Oal 58 cm, length blade 40.7 cm and thickness blade at the handle 2.6 mm.I have nothing to weigh but quite light.Was usually worn hidden in the sleeve at the under the forearm with the cross-shaped part in the hand. With the central part protruding between the fingers one could punch, and if necessary with the other hand quickly pulled.
