Hi Alexander,
Stuart is right, of course. Nothing to do with "real", full size nimcha sabers from Algeria and Morocco. Your sword is what is called "ceremonial" nimcha and it is not made for real use, but that is true for many item shown is this forum.

Yours is a nice example with better workmanship, and it looks that it has some reasonable age (my guess would be close to 75). I consider it to be a good addition for any collection of ethnographic weapons.

You are right is beautifully made, but is young ... Maybe I'll keep it in my collection
