Hi Clement, Hi Jim,

Now i can answer to you.
Look at the book of Andersen Gold and coral.
Look also at the Ottoman powder flask from Algiers that I posted before.
The quality of the work is typical from the 19th c. and the Ottomans.
The quality is amazing for the hilt and the scabbard.
The blade is normal for this so-called weeding nimcha.
By the way they are the real nimcha the short swords (see Elgood).
The other nimcha from Morocco are saifs of course.
As Jim said these swords are attributed to the Kabyles in Algeria.
The quality of the work pushes me to think that your nimcha, Clement, was done in Algiers.

Best,
Kubur
