very beautiful ! My compliments ☼☼☼
back to your question; I have a bichaq with a similar star / sun like marking but also can not place it other then Ottoman and perhaps ( a guess only) Black sea area....
But against that guess is the fish / dolphin-like creature at the bottom of the scabbard which one can find in the Kotor erea and Greece or actually Crete.
Another strange but most beautiful decoration are the 2 eagles on top of the grip / handle at the inside part, which is seperated and not connected like a double headed eagle which is known from Montenegro, Albania, Habsburg/Austria and Russia?
