Takouba saber for comments

Sorry about the poor photos. I guess it's time to get a new camera. What do you think of this? It’s a Takouba, but also looks a bit like an Ethiopian sword. It could also be a mélange of sword parts recently put together, though the scabbard has wear from the sword going in and out that looks very long term. It has definitely been rejuvenated at some point in the not too distant past though, judging from the leather wrap on the grip. That’s an unusually long grip, isn’t it? I can almost get two hands on it.
