Yes, you are quite right about the Afar/Somalia combination. Never seen that before, but then the two areas are close to each other. As to why - maybe the result of trade of some sort ? Regarding age - probably first half of the 20th century.

Regards.

What Colin said - agree completely. I personally think its quite an attractive piece and the large bronze scabbard fittings are quite attractive.
