Upon physical inspection, this seems to be a Asian-Touareg inspired dagger, from late 19th century. A Touareg dagger, often referred to as a "Touareg Takouba," originating from the late 19th century, carries immense cultural and historical significance among the Tuareg people of North Africa. These daggers, characterized by their distinctive design and craftsmanship, are not just functional weapons but also symbols of honor, identity, and protection within Tuareg society and served during 20th century as inspiration for Asian daggers.
