It's a very well preserved piece.
What features make it Ottoman out side of an inscription in Turkish? Any ideas on a specific region of the empire (or as Peter indicates Anatolia), point of manufacture, or ethnic group? The more I learn the more tenuous my understanding of Ottoman is ![]() The edges don't appear to have been maintained (or damage outside of a couple of small chips to what I believe is the main cutting edge). Were these weapons pure status symbol without martial purpose by the 19th century? It seems the there is just a hint of the guard and the pommel curving back to the stem of the hilt something I had thought of as a Kurdish influence. Thanks for any guidance out there.
