selahlik/silahlik weapons belts

[estcrh]

Here is a reference from an article titled "The Turks In Egypt" from the "Calcutta Review", Volumes 96-97, University of Calcutta, 1893. It mentions silahlik being used by the Mamluks during the Ottoman occupation of Egypt. I would assume this reference was around the 1700s if not earlier as the french invaded Egypt in 1798, ending both the Mamluk and Ottoman rule.

I believe this one is was upside down, it looks to me that the museum which owns it has the weapons going the wrong way.

Would these Greek ones qualify?
