Mystery Sword Help Needed.

Norman McCormick · 3rd January 2008, 06:57 PM

Hello again,
I have to agree with Henk regardless of its looks it's not a bad blade to handle, light and quick I certainly wouldn't like to be on the receiving end of a well aimed swipe. Although the blade may have found its way to N. Africa did it start its life there? It looks more like a European sabre blade to me although possibly not heavy enough, everything seems to have been copied from time to time and from culture to culture including blade type so maybe difficult to pin down. Can anybody hazard a guess as to age.
Regards,
Norman.
