My many thanks to Artzi from Oriental arms for releasing this beautiful sword to me from his private collection.

For me the blade and guard are old, 19th
the hilt and scabbard are recent, 20th

The guard looks to be a 20th century example in the Kassala style. A close up image would be helpful. The blade could be an import but I think is more likely a 20th century example.
