Hello
Following my new interest in sword collecting and passion for their history, I've encountered this particular blade identified as a Touareg sabre. It is curved and not a takouba, so what is it? I've seen another similar blade but with a very thick jambiya hilt uncharacteristic of touareg/morrocan/algerian swords. Any ideas on its name and origin?

Thanks
Manolo
