Working Moroccan Nimcha with Interesting Script
 
6 Attachment(s)
I just acquired this honest working nimcha(nothing fancy). It has a heavy 32.75" blade with either some type of script from an old European blade or more probably put on there by the sword maker to give the sabre a false enhanced value or possibly they could be armory marks.

Spurious Italian markings, the ones in fuller look like written backwards in the manner of German 'ANDREA FERARA' but cant see them clearly.

Thanks Jim; do you think that the sword is early to mid 19th century?
