Expensive tourist flyssa - Asian handle combo

Emanuel · 12th December 2008, 07:03 PM

There's no question that this is a North African blade. It comes from a small flyssa of a type whose manufacture began in the latter part of the 19th century and took off in the early 20th. This type of blade is the precursor to the thin "wedding nimcha" blades, just compare the decorative "scratches".

As Katana, i am very suspicious too. As for the blade, it seems to be a kabyle work. As for the hilt, it's an indonesian style with Hanuman!!!.
It is the assembly of the carp and the rabbit. Doubtless, somebody has to laugh at its joke.
