It is a Sudanese kaskara. Better images would be needed to really tell you much about it. From the crude nature of the cross guard it looks like a later piece, certainly 20th century.

In my opinion, later than the 1940s. The blade is roughly ground from scrap steel. The guard is also roughly formed with visible file marks. These swords are still made today.
