Greetings.
My grandfather left me this sword. Can anyone give me more information about it. All I know is that it's turkish. I can post more pics if needed. Thanks.

Please provide close-ups of the handle and the silver parts of the scabbard.

Where do you live?

Ivan posted this on another forum first, it was suggested to him that this forum might be a better place to find out some informtion on this type of sword, I was thinking that this sword may be Persian and not Ottoman, any thoughts?

To me the niello decoration looks similar to that on items from Yannina: you can see the style in Elgood's latest book.
