Mike,
I don't know, but it's one of two that I have with bakelite grips cast in the "traditional" style. Most others were all hilted locally in horn or wood. Likewise, many times the scabbard was made locally (often of relatively poor quality).
It must not have been too uncommon to find european manufactured hilts though, because many european military style sabres were imported, completely assembled, into Abyssinia. I have just one example (below), but I have seen many, including a fine one sitting in a large frame in Radu's home.
