Just took possesion of this sword with the hunch it might be ottoman, due to the naval insignia however its made by coulaux e klingenthal. This is etched into the spine of the blade by the handle, very faint to see but there. does anyone know if they ever made any swords for the ottoman turkish navy? I thought most of the blades swords came from internal or german.
thanks
