The blades from the Mauritania area are often to be found with that same shallow diamond cross-section blade, as per this example. They are also to be found with straight blades.

Oh boy! Well, being that the blade is diamond-shaped, the pommel 'rough' and with brass inlay, I guess we've cinched it that it is probably African then. I wasn't aware of diamond-pattern blades from the continent.
