That is very nice Norman, I have never seen anything like it. For my own interest could you post larger images of the fuller arrangement and another of the markings near the hilt.

This truly is a beauty! and most unusual. Interesting that the scabbard is similar to those found on.....dare I say it

the Black Sea knives!!!
A number of these are believed provenanced from Trebizon.

Best regards,
Jim

These are, indeed, Trabzon Surmenes and the complexity of their fullers is outstanding!
I read some of my comments and... blushed.
But... that's the price of acquiring knowledge: first, one has to be ignorant
