Is this yatagan from Tunisia?

Here is another one with similar scabbard from the Oriental Arms sold section before their site was reworked. Someone acid etched the blade with Africa 1830, so this is probably a trophy from the French invasion in Algeria.

Agreed
and Afrique is a reference to "Armee d Afrique"
Please note that Abdel Kadder had a yataghan...
from the Balkans... and not an Algerian Yataghan
I guess it was more chic to have an import...
