Hi Saqr , the 'Nimcha' or saif pictured in post number 3 is the example I own ; it is a English Backsword Blade from the late 16 - early to mid 1700s ; in its former incarnation it may have worn a Mortuary hilt or a Basket hilt of some kind .
The sword in post 11 is a picture of a sword that is not mine
(unfortunately
)
I put it up to further the discussion ; I was thinking that this might be one of the Moroccan blades you referred to .
