This is apparently a morrocan nimcha. In "Islamic Swords and Swordsmiths", Dr.Yucel claims that morrocan sword blades were very wide and thin, and famous for their high quality steel throughout Dar-Al-Islam. This ebay piece seems to be very old, or at least has experienced bas storage conditions, perhaps this is a continuation of medieval tradition of wide, thin blades.
