Greetings all, I'm looking for a flyssa sword with sheath or a replica for my collection. If anyone here has one or has any knowledge of where I might search for one please respond to this thread. Hers a brief description. Its a straight single edged blade with a needle-like point. Aproximate length is 101.3m (39.9in). Its origins are from th 18th-19th centuries. It was a weapon of the Berbers fron North Africa. Namely the Kabyles tribes. The blades on these weapons are also engraved with inlaid brass decoration on top of the blades edge. Animal-head pommels are common. Here's a pic:

Oriental Arms is a reputable source for antiques that tends to have them on a frequent basis.
