Said to be 19th century but from unknown origin...
The scabbard dont fit perfectly with the blade so I think ii's a replacement one...

Seems like to be North African, Mauritania area, with those small brass inlays to the wooden hilt. Scabbard probably from a repurposed European bayonet or sword.... Interesting piece, probably 20th century ?
