Default Is there a common link?
Several Arab swords clearly have a common ancestor, based on their common feature: multi-pronged, down-turned quillons: Moorish Jineta, old variant of Omani Kattara, Moroccan Nimcha and its Zanzibari cousin.
Here is something from Congo: remarkably similar.

Are we talking a coincidence here or is there a link?
