Thanks Manuel, it would be interesting to see the complete weapon if not too much trouble, it does have me curious what type of blade this is. The swords carried by the Mamluks were beautiful sabres, so much so that they influenced generations of military officers swords in various countries.
I do not wish to demean this weapon, only to observe it is far to simple, especially with cast brass hilt, to be of these elite units, and I'm not aware of any Ottoman swords using cast brass, nor using these military blades.
All the best,
Jim
