The flexible blade is marked (European mark may be). The handle appears to be rhino horn and silver. Traces of red lacquer in the etched silver patterns. the scabbard is in wood covered with skin. I seem to be in good condition. The rope is faded but it was red and blue.
93 cm long for all
68,8 cm long for the blade

Thank you for your help and see you soon

Hi Belgian
Wellcome Great item I am most envious. I have a Kaskara with what looks like the same makers mark that is on the blade of your Nimcha. I have been trying to discover who used this mark without success to date. There are some that are close but not quite the same, I wonder if any of the forum members can help in identifying it ? Thanks for sharing it with us.
Regards
Miguel
