Hello, everybody.

Please David, would you answer my question about the hilt and its black color.... i never saw such a coloured hilt on a Nimcha....

Jim, i would like to add some comments to my last answer on french/Maghrib relations.

I gave you historical point of view.
BUT, nothing new under the sun !!, if official position was as square, trade between Marseille and Maghrib never stopped really and the Jewish trade connection between the 2 banks of the mediterranée played a key role.

At first, Tunis saw a very important decline of the corsair activities and returned in a normal maritime business.
Then, the french flag was more or less privileged with regard to that of the other nations ships of which continued to be catched
So, as often, truth is at a middle point

Friendly
Louis-Pierre.
