Its a Sudanese kaskara with what looks to be a replacement pommel.

Thank you Iain Could you let me know what make you think that it could be a replacement pommel and also from which period this sword could be.
I will post more pics from the pommel as soon I will receive it. Best Cerjak |

I suspect it's a replacement because the form is simply not traditional. It is not unusual for kaskara to be modified in Europe to more closely resemble "medieval" swords. More images would certainly help. :-) The blade and guard are likely 19th century.
