Is this a scimitar? From where? When?

thanks for guiding me in a direction. any ideas on how to clean up the blade to see the mark better?
i compared the swords mark with eickorn squirrel and looks similiar but different. still researching and will post a better picture soon
but carl eickorn seems very far from late 18 century?
i have not found pictures of Friedrich Eickhorn (1650-1680)
either one seems of the mark time wise.
very interesting will look some more

Could it be a dragon?? Does the creature hold a ball or a globe in its hands?? Not sure how to clean the rust. I think you can buy some solution for it but never tried it myself. You could possibly try to put a paper on top of it and rub a pencil over to see if the image adds anything new?

The Eickhorn symbols in my book are similar not identical and they changed at times. Also there may have been more generations Eickhorn in the business who are not mentioned there.
