An extremely unusual weapon! The handle is Iraqi/Kurdi in form, but the blade looks like an old Roman sword!
What do you think?

I noticed that one too. To me it looks like a composite piece, blade and hilt matched at a later date - notice the hole at the top of the hilt (looks newer). The blade is certainly not typical of this hilt.

The blade is not typical but it is an old one as I can see. I had notice it too. Seller says about possible Albanian origins. Hilt looks like Albanian but the blade...

Do you think that ancient Illyrian blades could resist time? :)
