Hmmm. The handle does look African. It could also easily be from the hill tribes of the north east frontier. What if you ignore the coned pommel? Is the bade European? I am not so sure? The scabbard construction has me in two minds. The only bit I see as distinctly African is the leather. I have a wild thought that the blade may have a resemblance to some Nepalese blades. It does not look like an adapted machete to me. It is ground so well to fit the handle? I just do not see a European blade
