Opinion on this blade / sword

Yes, it is a "Ottoman" influence - according to me, and the handle is identical to the design of the scabbard .

Cool Sword! Not my area, but when I saw the tip of the scabbard I thought 'Turkish' Overall I thought maybe influenced by the Mongols/Tatar/etc. horseman hordes of the Steppes. The poles liked Odd sabres too!. With a metal scabbard I'd want a horse to carry it for me most of the time.
