Default Tebu Sword

Here is a Tebu (or Northern Cameroon) sword for comment. It is 33.5 inches long with the hilt, with a 28 inches blade. The blade is of rhomboid cross section and quite heavy: the sword without scabbard weights 989 grams. I suspect the scabbard is a later replacement.

Where would you place this sword, chronologically and geographically?
