Hello,
I get this old nimcha sword, Bad conditions, old (?) repairs on the hilt, I don't know if it's wood or horn made ( have to warm a needle...). I don't know if the blade is european, nothing extraordinary I think, but does anybody know the marks on the blade ? a moroccan recent stamp for make the sword more antique ? |

From what I can tell, the hilt looks like wood and the hilt plates look like either copper or brass. The mark sortive looks like a running fox. If it is, then the blade was made in Solingen, Germany (if my memory is correct).

Solingen had a running wolf, but it does not matter if it looks like a fox or a wolf. The point is, that this, and many other European marks, were copied in India - with arms and legs as we say in Denmark - meaning a lot.
The blade is, unfortunately, scratched quite a lot, so the pattern is not clear, but the repeated three dots marks, makes me think it could be an Indian trade blade. The dots representing the three main gods in India. |
