Well, if you want to spend your money on a modern pseudo-copy, fee free.
But IMHO, it will be just a pseudo-copy, not the real thing. First, you may want to educate yourself about real Mamluk swords. Just as a hint, they predated Ottoman swords and the Europe copied them and not vice versa.
For $75 you can buy on Amazon or on e-bay a superb book by Kirill Rivkin and Brian Isaac “ A study of the Eastern sword ”. You will find tons of data on Mamluk swords there, although nothing beats Ucel’s book in terms of actual examples.
That’s if you are serious about collecting and owning real history and not modern copies. If your goal is just to cut thin tree branches, a copy will suffice.
