A batch? This is interesting. Looking at their website, I didn't find any other sabres looking exactly like this one.
P.S.: Thank you, and I found a nice photo of it here. My assumption is that it's a messer handle (

Interestingly, the wearer has a turban on his head... so he's a turk. So the artist, to my eyes, is depicting an Ottoman sabre, but blending messer handle traits.
