A very good example of the “NIMCHA”, the famous Moroccan saber. It has a 33 inches, slightly curved single edge heavy blade with a clipped tip. The blade is stamped with a styled Eyelashes stamping and a star. The grip is cut and shaped from a solid piece of Rhino horn showing clear fibrous structure, set with chased brass collar. The cross guard and the “D” guard are forged in one piece with the typical three prongs down curving quillons with silver Koftgari decoration. There is no scabbard . Total length 39 inches. Very good condition. This is a real early fighting sword probably early 19 C. , from exotic part of the world with all part originals and with no replacements.
