Trying to identify sword?

[Kmaddock]

Hi
I am looking to identify a sword and it is for sale on line site
as such I am not going to put up a posting as I understand the rules.

However, I can't figure out what it is
Is there any on line resource where I can peruse all the different sword types to try and get an identification

once I know the name then I can look for information

how I would describe the sword is
middle eastern, I think,
curved narrow blade, no cross guard
and it is not a dha as the handle is a lot shorter, and has what I would describe as ears

if anyone wants to hazard a guess on the above description please do

regards
Ken

Hi Ken'
Not a great deal to go on, you could try Shaska sometimes 'ears' and curved blade no guard, Yataghan definitely ears no guard forward curving blade, maybe also Flyssa could match description but less likely.

Norman.

Sounds like a yataghan! :shrug:

Thanks for sugestions
Shaska might be the one
I guess I will have to buy more books, mine are all on British cavilary swords and Sabres
