Sorry Serdar I can't help you other than to give this post a bump. I think this is an interesting item and I would like to know more about it. Would you say that the blade is European?

It looks like a heavy thrusting blade compared to a rapier. I think of it less as a flamed blade and closer to a serrated blade. Against an unarmored opponent or a person in quilted armor, the...

I would love to see the "loop" in detail when you have a chance. The monogram's T reminds me of an orthodox cross. The laurel motifs give the ensemble a military feel. The decorations have stippled...
