This sword was found in my late father in laws attic. He was a Col. in the US Army and spent all of his time during WW2 in Europe and Germany. What little knowledge I have, I believe this sword to be an Ottoman Turkish sword. I greatly welcome all your help in finding out what there is about to know about this sword. Also there is script on one side of the blade. Appreciate if someone can translate it for me.
Thank you,
Steve
