My guess it is a composite sword more like trench work. Not something specifically ethnographic. But it is more like a guess than an educated answer.

This is a very nice and composite short sword!
It's very interesting because it's a puzzle of different parts. Is it possible to have another photo of the pommeau just to check if it's a yatagan hilt mounted on a kinjal? The scabbard is fun too and very North African... For the date i would say 1921... But it's just a date.. it doesnt mean anything than the last use of this sword... To me someone has reused Balkan or Turkish ottoman parts to make a cutlass, to use on ships, the guard and the scabbard could be North African, Algerian or Tunisian, maybe used on pirate ships in the area... Best, Kubur |

Here are pictures of a Bedouin shashka, also found in Bulgaria like the kama, for guard comparison.
