[Ibrahiim al Balooshi]

Nimcha.

Thje weapon below with the sunlight from the window on it simply compared with the Butin charts gives the impression that this is a Nimcha and likely from Saudia.

The give away being the silver covered hilt and sharply turned pommel . Interestingly this weapon also has the chain knuckle arrangement and straight crossguard…Finials terminating in vegetal ends. The geometry in the centre of the crossguard suggests an evil eye design.. The blade has a heavy looking backblade and is curved to a point. The 5 silver sworls on the hilt suggest geometric hand of Fatima style.

The example against a jet black background is another KSA version.. and also has a 5 geometric decoration on the hilt in this case circular perhaps coins or coin lookalikes often copied. The weapon with three silver shots on the hilt is Yemeni. The other Nimcha is lengthways and has a black leathered hilt and is a Met Museum item...with a similar rounded rainguard.
