Sword HELP

Gerbalski · 28th September 2005, 07:42 AM

Hey all.
I was wondering if any one out there could help me out with a couple swords I have. My step father passed away recently and left me with these two swords I know nothing about. I would sure like to find out about there origin and possibly if they are worth anything. Anyone interested in seeing these swords please email me and i will send you more pics. Or please reply in forum if you have any info at all.
Thanx

I'm not much as a source of information, but they remind me nimchas. Moroccan, if I'm right. I don't have a clue at if they are original or repro... I leave that for the more experienced ones.

I'd like to see more pictures, of course, I love curved blades in all forms!
