Is this a scimitar? From where? When?

[Neivalf99]

thanks for guiding me in a direction. any ideas on how to clean up the blade to see the mark better?
i compared the swords mark with eickorn squirrel and looks similiar but different. still researching and will post a better picture soon
but carl eickorn seems very far from late 18 century?
i have not found pictures of Friedrich Eickhorn (1650-1680)
either one seems of the mark time wise.
very interesting will look some more
