This Nimcha has a rhino horn hilt May be a member could tell me from which kind of European saber could come this Nimcha blade. Best CERJAK |

Probably German blade See # 9 at http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showth...ghlight=NIMCHA for the same crosses and moon mark.

Usually, such blades with 3 rather narrow fullers are of local manufacture.
It also seems to me that just at the level of stamps the fullers become somewhat curved: heated for stamping? Kind of too crude for the Germans:-) |

as a German I'm with you. It is a well known fact, that Kaskara-blades for example were manufactured in Solingen and exported to Africa. But they never had such poorly shaped fullers, never, even not in wartimes. Roland |

Yes that is possible although what if this was straight originally and was hammered into a curved shape.
There is however, no unsharpened section at the forte supporting the idea of a local blade and I tend to agree on the crosses and Dukari moon styles being local... |

Well, I have seen a lot of "locals" and to me this blade is not local.
 Cerjak is it possible to know the length of your blade? Thanks |
