From the areas of the Central and Eastern Sudan, a very fine quality Kaskara with an unusual hilt and scabbard. Probably from the Madhist Period, this sword reflects what Christopher Spring pointed out in his Book African Arms and Armor, ( SEE PG 41) when he said, " Sword blades... were traded across the Sahara from Mediterranean ports.. These blades would have been fitted with locally made hilts and scabbards.." This sword has an unusual, somewhat Takuba style scabbard and a cast bras ...click for details

This lighter seems to be to well finished to be catagorized as "Trench Art". The symmetry and finish suggest commercial work to be sold to patriotic citizens and soldiers. The subject also suggests that it may be post Spanish American thru WWI. The Federal shield and Eagle are of that period. A nice quality addition to any military or lighter collection. Either an intended thumb rest in the center of the eagle or a slight dent. 2.2" to top of spark wheel, 1.5" wide.
