Default Afghan military sword

Just recently acquired this sword at a UK Auction. No dimensions at the moment.
It appears to have a T-section spine for most of the slightly curved blade, much like a std. Khyber knife. The blade is double-edged from the point for a significant distance, appears to have a short raised yelman... The steel grip appears to have white scales between the rusted pommel and bolster sections. Possibly bone or other hard animal material. Scabbard sadly lacking.

More details, any markings, and measurements to follow on arrival...
Any comments welcome with thanks...
