ethiopian Gurade sword / interesting blade

[francantolin]

Hello,

I would like to show you the gurade sword I just received,
for comment and for share please.

Here are the pictures of the seller,
seems old , or just bad preserved
the hilt is made of three pieces of horn I suspected, not wood ,
central part can be rhino I guess.
It was taken back from ethiopia in 1969

The blade is all rusty and doesn't seem european,
a local production or indian/persian ?

I'm cleaning it '' a little'',

I post other pics ...
Kind regards
