You are right!! The dreamy-eyed Adonis is sporting a real Ordynka!
The slightly off-line pommel, the "butterfly" scabbard ring plates and the short quillons are identical. Did this sword come from Lvov (Lvuv, Lemberg, Lviv), from the Crimea (Crimean Khanate was one of the origins of Polish-Lithuanian Tatars), or was it local?
Another day, another mystery.....
