For comment: Possibly a 'Berber saber'

[Lee]

Received from EF:

I found your website while trying to research a sword I found last year. I found it in an antique store in Gettysburg Pa. It wasnt Civil War related and they just wanted to get rid of it. I gave them $45.00 for it because I thought it looked cool. I am trying to find out what it is, how old, where from ect. The blade is curved and fullered like a cavalry sabre. the tip is strange like it may have been broken and reground. The handle is made of horn with iron rivets. It is decorated on one side with small circles. There is no guard on the grip. The only markings are the name Manuel Deja on the blade near the handle. Any information you have on this would be greatly appreciated.
