Hello,
Thank's a lot Ulfberth ! For your message and the good news  !For me, the fabric-fake shagreen covering the scabbard was a later add and make me doubt about the mounts too... The blade was an interesting surprise, especially that it was totally blocked by rust in the scabbard: just WD40 in the interstices and a lot of patience 2-3 pictures of the hilt and blade who is not that bad even if chromed ( I read it was sometimes made on gala swords... ) Kind regards |

Your sword blade would not be chromed, looks like etched design on the steel blade. Some mamelukes have nickel plated blades. It is difficult to make a call using digital photos whether it is nickel plated or not.
As an example of a nickel plated blade here is a Wilkinson circ 1902. |
