with the typical s-shape blade, ......I go for a hungarian sabre variation, 15thC ?

sorry optical illusion because the blade is bent it looks s-shaped. is the last 15cm or so (point) double edged?

I don't quite understand what you mean by "typical s-shape blade". As I said above, the blade is straight, but bent.

"found somewhere about city of Sudak (Crimean peninsula)"

Another strong argument for the Khazar (or related culture - Eurasian Nomads also called "People of the Steppes") origin!

PS: The bending of the tip gave the impression that the sword has double "s-shaped" curvature in the main view.

However, this sword doesn't look like typical nomadic swords including Khazar swords.

I wouldn't say that they are somewhat similar...
