Hello,

My opinion is that this sword is a composite sword, mounted in the 19th century, in Africa, with a much older "colhonas" guard, a european sabre blade and a locally made pomel and grip. Either the way this kind of guard is very rare and this one is rather well constructed and has interesting features like the crosses and a "6" number in the back.
