| "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 and is 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. 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. ..." |
