Hi, 
 
The blade seems heavily grinded, so it will be difficult to judge it's origin. I agree it can be a machete blade, or maybe a recent blade made of spring steel like a lot or West-african swords. 
 
It is the first time I see this kind of aluminium handle. It as both a Tuareg and a European influence, interesting. 
 
The scabbard seems new and the belt is far too short to be functional. 
 
I am eager to see more pictures. Nice sword ! 
 
Sincerely, 
Zan
