The style looks Tuareg to me.

I too thought "Tuareg".

What took my eye was the rectangular container on the scabbard with all the stuff inside it, and dangling below. I have no idea of whether it's some sort of traditional thing, or old tourist bling, or ?

I have no exposure to these swords, and I don't recall pictures of this sort of adornment.
