Long Kilich

hi Tim. I checked it after your reply, and am happy to see the silver beneath, when I scratched the yellows on the cross guard. It is plated silver, but the gold is perhaps a low grade, to obtain the classical brass colour or kilich guards? And the scabbard is silver for sure, as it has tughra, and it has yellow remnants in the places of lower height,holes, where it has avoided rubbing and erosion, and the upper parts have no yellow but all silver.
regards
