    Need help identifying sword

    Hello everyone, I'm new here and I need help identifying a sword. I bought this off of a friend who said he got it somewhere in Asia (don't remember where). Anyways, I bought it off of him and for a while I've been searching for a similar sword with no luck. The scabbard is made of leather and it has etchings on it. I'm not sure what the etchings mean. It would probably help you more if you saw it so I have uploaded some pictures onto this site:

    There's a bit of dirt on it and I ought to clean it up but I would like some advice first. Thank you very much.

    Looks like a modern / tourist version of a Mandingo dagger / sword to me (African)
