			Could it be that the blade is original Ottoman, but the kofgari is recently "re-done"? This is very common practice nowdays, epecially in Rhajastan. Another option is that it has been bought new or almost new by a collector and was kept well ever since, like many other pieces in very good condition.   
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
	Kubur, nice early photos (1900?). Both are from Syria.
