Zanzibar? Nimcha.

Hi,
New addition. What I believe to be a Zanzibar Nimcha. Overall length 35 inches, blade length 29 inches, blade width 1 5/16 inches and 1/4 inch at its thickest, it is very sharp with the 4 1/2 inch false edge also extremely sharp. Although this does not have the 'guard ring', the hilt shape, the quillion type, the blade profile and the peaked silver collar on the grip lead me to think this is a Zanzibar type. See thread http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showth...ghlight=nimcha and the post by LPCA/Louis-Pierre. I look forward as usual to your thoughts and comments.
Regards,
Norman.
