What do you think about it?

Besides the silver element I don't see that much similarity. Sadly yours is missing the guard to make a detailed comparison.

The sword that used to be mine was unusual for the decorative motif and had an extremely good blade, it was missing the silver on the top of the pommel. I believed at the time (and still do) that it was likely from modern day Nigeria and more to the west than more typical examples from Hausa areas.
