Quote:
Both of these are described as potentially being from North Africa, possibly Algeria, only one states the reasoning behind this attribution (the lobed pommel). What exactly makes a weapon "Algerian"? An attractive Ottoman shamshir sword probably from Algeria or North Africa. http://www.ashokaarts.com/shop/ottom...a-north-africa This rare form of Yataghan, with the lobed pommel is usually attributed as North African, probably Algeria. http://www.oriental-arms.com/item.php?id=5582 |
