A very cool and interesting sword. I like that it has a straight backsword blade. And a wide one, too.

I knew that the nimcha/saif hilt style had not changed much since the 17th century from the Michiel de Ruyter one and similar examples, and I had heard about connections with the storta and other Italian sword types, but I was not aware that the hilt was such a 1:1 copy.
