Persian made blade...but where did it see service??

TVV, that was curious to me as well....those roundels are so Ottoman. I just think the Farsi inscriptions and interesting hilt speak to who may have used it, but I am not sure we may ever figure it out. I have seen many yats whose koftgari evokes Ali and Huseyn, surprising me a bit with such Shia inscriptions.

It may, as noted above, just be an interesting trade combination.
