Cette Nimcha arabe a pratiquement une garde de Nimcha du Maghreb, mais:

• pointe (oreille) au sommet du pommeau

• pommeau légèrement incliné

• défense en anneau principalement présente sur les Nimcha de la Péninsule et de Zanzibar

"This is a very good variant of the Moroccan Nimcha used by the Arabs. It is more of a Saif and was used in the Arabian Peninsula. The blade is slightly curved and is of quality, probably of European origin, signed at the heel (but not legible now). The hilt is classical with three down curving quillons and a protecting ring. The grip is a massive piece of horn with engraved silver collar. The blade retained its original age patina with minor pitted spots. There are traces of gold and silver koftgary on the hilt parts but it is mostly gone now. ..."
