yes i saw that sale. pretty similair guard and handle, but much more ornate and in better shape. much higher then my threshold. but at least i have a nice entry level one for that type of sword.

I would not get depressed: in my mind the "ornate" one was grossly overpriced. Interesting blade though, and may be quite old, but I would not pay that type of money for a pleasure of a 20 min research. Why did it go that high? Gods only know: I guess the magic of the words" Turkish", " Kilij", "18th century" drives some totally batshit

. In reality it is a reconstituted sword, nothing more.
Yours is better!
