I believe it to be the real deal, made for local wear and use. Probably mid 20th century. Blade could well be older. Is it flexible?

Hi Ed, good takouba, no tourist stuff. Good blade, European maybe and as already said handle more recent than blade.

Oh yes best to remove active rust. There are plenty of tips on the forum on how to do this should you have little experience with it

Blade is very flexible ... The pommel appears to be ferrous with the narrow cap piece not. Perhaps brass? GOLD???
