An Old Unusual CURVED, Single Edge, Taureg Takouba Sword

[Iain]

I think the earlier part of the 20th century to mid. I have to admit I'm losing my touch for dating the specifics of later takouba, I've been too buried in trying to figure out how to heck to do it for the earlier ones!

I think we could say this for a few reasons, the condition of the dress, the stacked pommel style etc. The one I had before (image attached) I would put a little later due to the more crude blade and fresher leather. Could be even into the 1980s in my case!
