Saif Nimcha Relic English Civil War Period Pirate Sword

This is apparently a morrocan nimcha. In "Islamic Swords and Swordsmiths", Dr.Yucel claims that morrocan sword blades were very wide and thin, and famous for their high quality steel throughout Dar-Al-Islam. This ebay piece seems to be very old, or at least has experienced bas storage conditions, perhaps this is a continuation of medieval tradition of wide, thin blades.

Folks. English civil war, along with medieval swords are at the top of military antiquities for ordinary people, even that is a gross simplification and are just not sold like this. Well not in the UK.

Well, if you take a look at the previous purchases in the high bidders feedback you will see that this high price was based upon the pirate sword attribution. Interesting.
