the coiled wire seam on the scabbard as well as the tip scream Turkish.

Good point Kronckew. This scabbard looks very Ottoman to me.

Hello Marius
I think you're absolutely right. This is not Persia and moreover it is not Bukhara. My opinion is a very good Ottoman kard. My congratulations |

Another question for me: were the turquoise stones originally held in place by gold settings? There seem to be round discoloration on the ivory around the turquoise stones.

there are no traces of gold anywhere; there are no visible grooves where the gold would have been inserted; gold mountings on hilts are more an Indian trait, not Ottoman. |

Well I'll agree that kundun technique is unique to India. But I have seen silver and gold mounts for Ottoman gems (and even for glass look alikes).
