What a perfect pair to represent the role of North African corsairs and the Ottoman empire in Mediterranean trade at the time!

Welcome to the forum, BTW... Joe, now you're just a schiavona, old Templar's sword, bichaq, and a Mediterranean dirk shy of a full set…

A question for Jim & Ibrahilm:

In the photo of the obverse of the nimcha - with the original hilt - there is some type of stirrup wrapped underneath the quillons on either side of the blade. What is this? I don't recall seeing a similar fitting on other nimchas?
