Help identify
Hello all. I've come to appreciate the expertise and analytical nature of the members of this forum. And I believe only you can help me.
I purchased this short sword a few months ago on ebay. The blade measures 17 1/4 inches and 25 3/8 overall. Its pommel is similar to the those found in swords and daggers from the Mandara Mountains, except for a small nub at its tip. Maybe used for tying a tassel to it. The blade is also adorned with etchings which I believe were done by hand (the lines are irregular).
I'll post more images of the blade soon.
