Kaskara

Selohr · 12th April 2018, 01:29 PM

Hello, I'm new to this forum and would like to ask for advice. I recently purchased a kaskara and seller didn't have much info on it apart from it being brought from Egypt in 1970's. It is in fairly decent shape except for the loose hilt. Considering I don't know much about these swords I would like to ask for the help to see if it is an antique or a tourist souvenir. In case it is just a souvenir, without historic value, I'd go ahead with fixing the hilt and making it usable because it is such a nice, light and lively blade itwould be a shame not to let it cut some light targets

Here are the photos, excuse the quality but my mobile phone camera is all I have at disposal.
Thank you in advance!
