This is a very good variant of the Moroccan Nimcha used by the Arabs. It is more of a Saif and was used in the Arabian Peninsula. The blade is slightly curved, 28 inches long with 8 inches back edge. It is a blade of quality, probably of European origin, signed at the heel (but not legible now). The hilt is classical with three down curving quillons and a protecting ring. The grip is a massive piece of horn with engraved silver collar. Good condition. The blade retained its original age patina with minor pitted spots. There are traces of gold and silver koftgary on the hilt parts but it is mostly gone now. Very low price
