Not a very simple one
Those sabres seems to me be not essentially a very simple ones but rather suitable for battle. All I have seen live or online were mounted on 18th century Hungarian or German blades, always being rather weary.
Their quillons though rough ones were forged thus being the better protection than those silver or steel but soldered sheet made or of cast brass.
Some of them also had a decoration similar to Sanaa or Sa'da Assib jambiyas what can give a clue of their origin.
