Here are two other flyssa for comparison. later i will post pics of other nimcha-flyssa to further illustrate my point.
This is, of course, only conjecture and I would very much like to see/hear counter-arguments. Emanuel |

I agree the work on the older flyssa was of much finer quality as is apparent with many bladed weapons before 1860 or so. This an older example with a 32 inch blade.

The top one is exactly what I had in mind. Here are a few pics of the nimcha blades (from Oriental-Arms, I can't find pics of my own
