What would we call this one with a backsword blade; Sayf ?
I would think so . ![]() I've always understood the ring guards to indicate locations other than Morocco and Algeria . ![]() |

generally when refering to a nimcha you are referring to the horn handle the knuckle guard and the distinctive quillions. The blade type is basically not a issue. If you look at the one originally posted the quillons are different and the grips are wood (they look original). That is why it's origin is different close but not not the mark.

I've got a feeling the blade itself is quite old .
