I hesitate to take all the pieces and transfer it on a kilij I have, 
If I can get that price     ,  
maybe I have piece enough for the the backside !!
 
Seriously, I find  strange that this wonderful piece sold by Christies was ''just''made of gilt copper and not a massive silver scabbard, gold...

 You are maybe right, may be it is silver gilt for this sword...
About your joke, you probably noticed that only one side is decorated, always.
