Hello everyone. This is my first post.
I have just bought my first Nimcha.

The sabre has a damaged sheath and handle. The handle is from some kind of horn.

It has an interesting wooden scabbard. Hand-carved.

There is a mark stamped on the blade. This is the only marking on this sabre.

I would ask more experienced collectors for their opinion on this sabre, its originality, age etc.
Should its handle be repaired?
Or fit a new one, in the European style?
Thank you for your replies.
