The excellent post on the Nimcha / Bedouin Saif remided me that I had something similar in my attic heap so I have dug it out for your comments . I think this may have a European blade too though there are no markings. It still even has part of its old Weller & Dufty auction tage with a sale no. that must relate to around 1988 . The overall length is 90 cm , blade width 4 cm , wooden grip , iron handguard, scabbard leather wrapped. Hatchet point to blade.

Looks you have a n identical example as shown by A. Alnakkas. Your scabbard has the leather still present but I suppose you have some work to do. Better don't leave it as it is.

Yes you are both right .. this has come from my 'heap' a pile of largely unidentified weapons I bought many years ago and never got round to doing anything with , much to my shame . Now I have more time I am being to work my way through them and clean, keep or sell .

If you have a pile unindentified weapons, how them. There is a lot of knowledge avaible here. And it is always fun and educating to see an unindentified pile of weapons

Salaams thinreadline ~ Thanks for showing the sword which frankly no one is absolutely certain what to call these... I mean some call them Zanzibari others Yemeni whilst some say Bedawi ... Derivatives occur all over the Indian Ocean up the Red Sea and throughout much of Arabia (and in your attic ![]() Have fun restoring this one.... ![]() Regards Ibrahiim al Balooshi |

Yes indeed my attic is a perfect example of the confluence of world trade routes in exotic weaponry ! Thanks for your views . I rather like this workmanlike piece and I shall certainly gently clean it now and then most probably keep it . |
