Concerning this model I cant find something very algerian here...
I mean, close style but not same. Never gems on algerian guards (sometimes a bit of coral on quillon tips, but thats it), and not as much on a handle.
I really dont know whats is that sword, if its actually italian, it could be a good way to understand inspirations... But still have to determind an age, because if it is something that is sometimes hard to accept for us europeans (even for me...) is that algerian (or north afrian, and widely the world..) could also have inspired such models, by the "legend" of algerian pirates at this era throught europe, or even the willing to have a sword like those tooken from algerian shipman, as the one of Tromp, De Ruyter, etc.
