Hi Klipsteen
You have a very nice older Hausa dagger from Nigeria/North Africa. Below are two examples from my collection for comparison. Lew |

Lew,
I had been wondering about the exact ethnicity of this one, but now I am supposing Nigerian Hausa as well....correct?? Last edited by CharlesS; 25th January 2009 at 06:30 PM. |

Yes that is a real nice Hausa dagger the hilt shape at the top is the key. Sudanese hilts are either disc shaped or hour glass shaped. |
