Interesting Flyssa

So this particul example would be a virtual "prototype" for the flyssa? It's nearly identical to the classic flyssa form...in that case, the whole weapon style would be attributed to Anatolia, not Algeria, would it not?
Are there more confirmed examples of this?

I still think it's a flyssa...and I'm still intrigued by the carving. And the grips are similar to those on this example http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showth...ghlight=flyssa Replaced or original, they're still reminiscent of the brass camel head on finer flyssa like the one from Oriental-Arms.
