Good evening dear members,
I have just bought this ''strange sword'' and wanted to show it to you for have your advice and maybe informations about the age and the origin of the blade , seems old,
19th century ??

and for the handle, never saw a guard like that !
Maybe only fantasy model ?!!

strange with his moon crescent or ram horn shape ???

For me the blade can come from Poland, Hungary-Romania or central Asia ??
looks a little like old turkish blades but I don't know about this handle..
