Found another one in my collection with a slim blade but traditional Tuareg hilt & scabbard.

Similar mix of styles but with rather shorter blade , 20th century. From a inexpensive picture book you can find on Amazon. "Tuareg Daggers & Swords. Jan. E . Culbertson, 2012"

Tim - it does look like a mix of those two styles.

Thanks for posting these pictures.
