This very crudely mounted and produced blade is quite similiar to machete type blades that were produced in Solingen in the 19th century (see W.Gilkerson, "Boarders Away") . Obviously this piece is much cruder and the markings are accordingly crude imitations of the Solingen 'talismanic' groupings of the latter 18th century.
While this workmanlike piece certainly might have been from the Bedouin regions of N.Africa, such pieces are equally found in Central America and Caribbean regions but these typically had the genuine Solingen blades. Since this seems lighter and copied, I would be inclined toward N.African regions and probably more for the Sinai region. The simple Bedouin swords, though most seem to have more of a shaped hilt (I'm sure Ariel will share his examples
this possibly might be a crude rank and file item. I think this piece is probably early to mid 20th century.
The 'Berber' swords illustrated and suggested , are from many years of discussion where they are claimed to be from Moroccan regions, however thier blades are nearly always profiled tip military blades (usually British M1796 light cavalry blades, but some later cavalry sabre blades from varying nationalities). These blades typically have nothing to do with the Solingen trade blades, but more often can be Solingen blades from captured or surplus military sabres.
Interestingly, recent information has suggested that these distinctly recognizable sabres may not be Moroccan at all, and thoughts toward entirely different spheres have come up. One of the most interesting factors carrying this thinking has been the complete absence of these in any collected weapons groupings from Morocco throughout the 19th century and into the 20th, particularly the Charles Buttin collection. This most distinguished collector of ethnographic weapons lived much of his life in Morocco and it seems amazing that this distinct form would have eluded his comprehensive study of Moroccos weapons.
In any case, though very similar in genre, these 'Berber' sabres would probably not be associated with the weapon posted here.
As Vandoo has well said, another simple weapon with undoubtedly great stories to tell!
