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". |

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. Kurt |
