Norman,
My first thought when I saw your sword was that the blade resembles those found on the mystery Berber swords from the Maghreb (or Latin America). However, Charles and Ariel are probably right about it being a Bedouin sword from the Sinai or wherever those were used. The two types seem close enough, both geographically and in terms of blade shape.
I am not quite sure I understand you correctly, but are you saying that you acquired the sword in North Africa?
Regards,
Teodor
