Hi mate, and sorry for the Time to answer, Im a bit busy these days.

Thanks for those details, there now absolutely no doubt about the algerian origin of those knives. You Can also see the same kind of mounting on one of my bou-saadi.

You are right about the age of those knives. In facto, bousaada is known as a Sword making area for centuries.

Amically, Khaled.
