We crossed posts Teodor, well noted, it could possibly be locally made, but this hexagonal section was not one commonly seen on Saharan takouba or others. The Maghrebi sa'if seems often to have been mounted with European broadsword blades (most of these Spanish pattern blades were Solingen) which were broadsword types. This was quite contrary to the sabre type hilt of the 'nimcha'....but the same thing happened with these 'dragoon' blades mounted on sabre hilts in Spains colonies in the Americas.
