It's a reasonable example in nice complete order with the date of 1929 on one side and some Berber? symbols on the other.

Hi Atlantia

between the Chott el-Hodna (salt lake) and the Saharan Atlas Mountains,

- the hole in the handle it's to pass through the leather cord
and to secure it with a node, to don't lost the scabbard
