Default Need a little help to I.D.

Hi every body, ... need a little help
I've seen this type of knife somewhere, but where ... I dunno
I didn't yet in hand this knife, his description is
- Bone handle ... no longer
I guess that it should come from North Africa, Morocco?
my reference books doesn't list it ...

I'm not expected for something hight value, and I catch it very cheap
but in Egypt, I've plenty nephew, no less than 7 ...
since they saw my small collection, they want to start their own,
also, as already, we offered some "Shibriya" to some of them,
I'm trying to collect, cheap but not too bad knifes
nice gifts for reasonable teenagers

thanks per anticipation for your collaboration

Hi Dom,

I see these pretty regularly. This one, with the shape of the guard and the material, reminds me strongly of swords from Tunisia like these:

Hi Dom,

Glad I could help. Not really sure how many of these are 19th century.... Many I've seen certainly look newer. Perhaps the horn hilt on yours indicates more age? I'm not sure.
