Nein, nein, nein, Kurt, not one of the Prophet saber for a lot of reasons

Yes Jim, it looks like a telescoping of an arabian Middle Eastern saïf and a Moroccan Nimcha guard. A blade of broad saber.
Really very curious.

Nice sword. The sword inscription is indeed Dhul'fiqaar. The inscription even says the frequent line "la fata ela Ali, wa la saif ela dhul'fiqaar"
