EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "Arm Knife and Scabbard from the 1st Sudan War (1884-1885)" This photograph showcases an intricately designed arm knife and its accompanying scabbard, both of which bear the historical significance of the 1st Sudan War (1884-1885). The long, double-edged blade, featuring a usual leaf shape, is adorned with semi-circular gear-wheel type stamps. The hilt, crafted from yellow bone, boasts the typical double concave shape, with an ornamental tang button that is centre-bound with plain and twisted wire. This arm knife, a relic from the Nile Expedition led by Field Marshal Lord Wolseley, was brought back as a testament to the military campaign in Sudan during the late 19th century. The intricate design and the use of materials like iron and bone demonstrate the skill and craftsmanship of the local Sudanese artisans. The semi-circular gear-wheel type stamps on the blade are a unique feature, adding to the knife's distinctive appearance. The yellow bone hilt, with its ergonomic design, would have provided a firm grip for the soldier, ensuring efficient use in combat situations. The scabbard, designed to protect the blade when not in use, is an essential component of this historical artifact. This photograph offers a glimpse into the rich military history of the late 19th century, providing valuable insights into the weapons used during the 1st Sudan War. The intricate design of this arm knife and scabbard set is a testament to the cultural fusion that occurred during military expeditions and the enduring impact they had on the world. Date: 1884.
