Looks like an old sword from the Mandara region. There are many similarities to this not so old one I purchased from Luc, personally I would have kept hold of it but he does have another really super one. The guards can vary from curving to the hilt or to the blade.

This is quite interesting, give some idea of the extent of the area.
