(Corsairs= Moriscos after feeing from Spain in the early 1600s. ) (These so called wedding daggers are interesting also known as Fleessa or Algerian Nimcha Daggers..Personally I also see them as somewhat ineffective being rather spindley and weak in the quillon region..Whilst the hilts follow a Nimcha style I cannot be sure of their original provenance...perhaps more comments can be forthcoming from others as it looks like a latecomer to the style.) Below a further look at artwork down the ages at some different Magrebi Nimcha blade-lengths... As I see it there are three Magrebi types viz; 1.The huge meaty Embassadorial form. 2.The Short Corsair form. 3.The Long Cavalry form... Comments please...?
