A very good example of the “NIMCHA”, the famous Moroccan saber. It has a 26 inches, slightly curved single edge heavy blade finely fullered. The blade is engraved with styled sun, moon stars and knights head in a classical European design of the 19C. trade blades. The grip is cut and shaped from a solid piece of dark, hardwood set with brass collar. The cross guard and the “D” guard are forged in one piece with the typical three prongs down curving quillons, finely engraved. Total length 31 inches. Very good condition. Blackened spots on the blade. No scabbard.
