Default Algerian Bichak/Bicaq

This should be a "bichak/bicaq" of the Ottomans in Algeria
the handle and scabbard are made ​​of a silver alloy rather poor
the blade is that of a conventional flissa with inlaid copper, as usual

the tip of the sheath, intrigued me before buying, but after receiving
I found that there was never a chape, absolutely no mark

nevertheless, I imagined, how nicer could the scabbard
with a Ottoman silver dolphin chape, two problems arise
- the scale of the chape, and the tip of the sheath, it's may be a little weird
- the quality silver alloys are not quite the same

to help you to imagine the situation, I have posted pictures of two cases
now thanks, to give me your views and comments

best regards
