Hi Kubur,
Thought you might be interested in this illustration that I have found in one of my books that I seldom refer to. you will see that fig 9 is an illustration of the sword described in Egerton`s book or one very similar and you can distinctly see the crocodile decoration on the blade.
Regards

Yep it's the one.
But yours is a cross cultural object, Sudanese blade and Egyptian/Ottoman hilt and scabbard.
