 Hi, Yes they are. Look at this page: http://www.oriental-arms.com/item.php?id=3673 You have also the Passau wolf on your blade. I'm very jealous it's a very good sword!! 20th c. are you joking? I would say 18 or 19 th c. Jim will tell you... Best, Kubur | |

			Hello Kubur, Really thank's a lot for your precious comments ! For the turkish marks/tughras I was not sure, the auction company sold it for a 20th century sword... I found it strange because the scabbard too seems old.. !! I knew the blade was old but didn't know about origin, so Big Thanks with the Passau Wolf I didn't know ! It's really interesting ! I find this on internet Kind Regards Frankie |

			Please show us photos of the whole sword!    I wonder where did Kubur see the Passau wolf as I can't see any single photo of the blade?!  PS: All right, now I get it. And yes, I agree with Kubur with the observation that I think the blade is significantly older than the hilt.   Last edited by mariusgmioc; 29th June 2017 at 09:54 PM. |
