6 Attachment(s)
And last one curio out of the closet! The handle reminds a shaska, but the blade more some type of dha. Anybody that can enlight me?
Thanks in advance! |
Looks a bit more like a N. African Berber sword to me. Definitely not a dha.
|
We have seen one of these before a few years back. Bought by someone in California? it had a scabbard. There were a few opinions given I cannot remeber if they were conclusive. Although at first without a scabbard it appears African I am not sure if that is/was the case.

I vote for Sinai Bedouin sword. As Ariel SenSei, always states they used every blade they came across. I would guess that in this case they used an african blade. :)
THE HILT IS A REAL BEAUTY!!!!! :eek: |
Valjhun,
I'll show your "sensei-ing" mr to my wife, kids and cats. Perhaps some of them will give me a modicum of respect after that. No, it is not Sinai. The handle is wrong and (even though they used any blade available), the blade is not even close. I distinctly remember we discussed this or a very sword relatively recently; The thread is somewhere in the archives, within the past year, but I am off tomorrow for a buseness meeting over the weekend. If there is more than one of such swords, we may be seeing a new, undescribed, pattern. Worth looking in the archives! |
The tip has been reforged to upward profile, I guessed. :D
|
It looks like some daab/dha from the movie "Suriyothai"! I don't know if you notice, though! :D
|
The fuller seems alittle odd in that as the blade curves, the fuller looks as if it wanted to continue in a straight line and not follow the curve of the blade. The curve isn't progessive or smooth. I agree with Puff the tip seems to have been re-forged, it would explain why the fuller is missing from the tip, as it was hammered/polished out. The handle also looks as if , at some time, it could have had a hand guard? Since removed and the handle ' Africanised'.
