Default Algerian Bou Saddi knife-with wavy blade

Still clearing out some stuff, this interesting old piece has to go. As far as I know, this is a bou saddi knife from the southern regions of Algeria, the blade is unusual in that it's wavy and marked with drilled and punched decoration,the other side being plane. I've only ever seen straight varieties of these knifes. The handle is wood with circle and line decoration. I have been told this weapon dates from the early part of the 20c. I'm looking for £55.00 for this unusual example. No scabbard.
