Hi Kurt, fantastic swords, how do you know that these palas are Algerian?
In the book "splendeur des armes orientales" there is a almost identical one, but it is just described as "ottoman".

Default Algerian

Hi Eftihis ,

You're right, one of my palas was in the exhibition ,
"splendeur des armes orientales"
Ottoman is correct because Algeria was part of the Ottoman Empire.
But only in Algeria Palas were worn without cross pice.
