Sorry Rand, i cannot tell. I havent handled any, and i personally dislike this overdecorated style. I know that the Sultans used to give swords and furs as presents, and i know that this happened in Crete in 1645, when the Sultan gave to his general 2 "valuable" swords as a reword for the first victories. (The war was to continue another 24 years...)
