Default My Newest Acquisition

I picked this up while on vacation a month ago. I got it at a roadside swap meet. I was lamenting passing up a Dha sword and on the way home stopped and made a score. I hope.

I was told it is a Tuareg sword, but I haven't a clue about Tuareg blades, so I don't really know. I have looked around on the web for similar blades but haven't seen anything like it to know one way or another what it is.

The thinnest portion of the scabbard seems to be leather only while the thicker portions seem to be leather covered wood. The back of the scabbard has no sewing, the seam looks to be glued. The colors in the photos are pretty true. I can take more pics if needed.
