It is realy dificult to tell, that is a reason i posted it here, maybe someone saw similar example or know more.
Handle is dark horn very well made, crossguard is ottoman, from the end of 18 century maybe begining of 19 century, i have similar on some sabers, and older ones from 16-17 century are thiner in straight pieces, same but diferent.
Blade, the blade is a mistery to me, it has eylash marks, and blade is made very well, cutts perfectly, but shape and way of sharpening to me looks like indian or indo persian, it reminds me on that style but then again when i take it in the hands it feels european blade, fullers and shape, blade is older 17 century i would say.
It is very dificult to tell anything from the pictures.
