I have the same feeling. A wootz blade would be a clue for an indian blade, rather than a turkish one. Will let you know if it happens to be wootz !

Gav, thanks for showing this piece. The ornamental part at the base of the blade makes me think of balkanic weapons.

And thanks a lot to all of you for your very usefull help !
