Sword hilt for ID

[fernando]

The owner told my friend this is an Islamic hilt, but something tells me this is European. I even think a similar one was already posted here.
The guy only left a picture of the hilt and a description of the blade: slightly curved, thin, single edged, length 70-80 cms ( 28 to 31").
Any ideas ... please ?

Anything is possible, to me however it looks European. I've only seen the up-turn and down turn quillion once on a "Islamic" (I call it that since I can't remember where exactly I saw it I think it was Persian though) sword, and it was straight blade made to immitate a European blade. But the handle was more classical middle eastern unlike this one.

Thank you for that, AJ :) .

The discreption is totally wrong. The seller is selling a safawid era sword as a qajar era sword and calling it an assadullah sword wongfully aswell.
