Two Kilij for comments

Very excited today since I managed to get a hold of a pala that is very similar to the T-section one in the OP. I've been wanting one of these for many years.

I also snagged a rather rusty (more so than the picture suggests) and slightly bent Persian quaddara (quadara?) that will be a fun cleanup project at some point.

Very nice fighting kilij, looks 18 century by the style and blade.
Does it have a text on the other side?

Did you ever saw a ottoman gaddara in person?
Persian ones are nice, but ottomans made great ones, but very very rare.
