Default new kaskara

Greetings

Just bought my 3rd kaskara, hadendoa/ beja, the blade has a single wide fuller from tip to the handle, a good flex but stiff at the handle, its sharp and light.
Blade was covered in thick active rust, cleaned it, dark spots still visible.
Sword is 104 cm long, blade at the handle, wide: 4;6 cm, thick: 0;6 cm, long: 90,5 cm.A nice crossgard, handle covered with reptile skin and a green tassel.
Scabard in a good condition, fairly recent as usually.
Found on the forum similar examples and blades like these were probable German trade blades.
Comments are welcome.

Best regards
Marc
