but ... it's my "nimcha" ... Stuward
pure Maghrebian (Morocco), excepted the blade as well as 98% of them
who is most certainly European
what wrote "Gene" made sense,
the Indian craftsmen
(some) became too much "
bloody" by the duplicates that they sprayed on the market,
not only edged weapons, but also other "ethnographic items" such as ;
astrolabes (easy to discern), Islamic's talismanic bowls (much more difficult to recognize) ... and so
they have become very clever ... too much ... Syrians also are good competitors to them on the same field ...
the nimcha blade of "archer" is very disquieting, specially in Morocco,
even in Maghreb, because looks absolutly Indian production,
I never saw a similar blade associated to a Maghrebian edged weapon
may be, is it arrived by the "maritime trade" ??
