Hi,

Interesting sword. It is quite unusual for a takouba : the pommel is leather-covered, the blade is a sabre one and the leather on the scabbard and the handle is roughly assembled with thread rather than some kind of glue.
May it be some takouba-influenced tribal sword ? Or a tribal-influenced takouba ?

Here are two pictures of sabre-takoubas (not mine!)

Sincerely,
Zan
