Brian,
The markings on the blade look Caucasian, and the hilt distinctly from Southern Arabia. Ariel keeps reminding us that during the mid 19th century quite a few shashka blades were exported from the Caucasus to Souther Arabia, and this may be a perfect illustration of this trading.

Another nice sword, and this one appears to be of significant age.

Regards,
Teodor
