I couldn't help but notice the similarity between the handle on this one and the so-called " berber" swords.

Thank's to Jimmy and the Pepperskull (with a thank to Jose ! )

Yes Ariel, very similar but I think this depends on physical circumstances!

Regards,

Detlef

Great looking sword before and especially now (thanks to Jose) that the missing bands have been replaced. The more that I look at this the more I think if I were to put a name to it I would say that it could be a "sansibar". Lets see what everyone else thinks on this. Maybe Nonoy Tan or Bangkaya can shed more light on its origin and name. Again my congratulations.

Best,
Robert
