Thank you all for your feedback. The only question I have is about the grip material? And on the scabbord, what are the little springs and what is the purpose? Thanks
That scabard and kilij look like bosnian made, that sthitching is called turkish zipper, i never hear of ladders?
But have in mind that turkish zipper or what ever is modern name, in old books i neber came acros some name for that stitching, it iis just that a stitching.

I also snagged a rather rusty (more so than the picture suggests) and slightly bent Persian quaddara (quadara?) that will be a fun cleanup project at some point.
Very nice fighting kilij, looks 18 century by the style and blade.
Does it have a text on the other side?

Did you ever saw a ottoman gaddara in person?
Persian ones are nice, but ottomans made great ones, but very very rare.

Thanks for the input! I wasn't quite sure about the age given that there is no legible date on it as far as I can tell.

It has some decorations but nothing I recognize as readable text. Looks like the six pointed star maybe, but some of the markings have unfortunately worn away. I took some closeups of the decorative elements or the traces thereof. See pictures attached.

I don't think I've seen any of those. Now I'm curious.
