An interesting one. Pommel construction and style of a takouba, blade style of a jambiya. The general style makes me think of work from the Niger region. Afraid I can't say much more. Very much looks like a jambiya influenced design though.
I've seen a number with this general type of brass hilt with a variety of blade styles.
Yes thank you Iain, I do agree , it does have a pommel much like a takouba , and indeed overall very like a jambiya in general form.
