Thanks. Can you refine it any? I'm guessing prior to 1900.

Yes, a classical Ottoman Kard and 19th Century. The handle is likely jade and the blade is wootz. The silver scabbard also has all elements of classical Ottoman design, the repose style, 'rings' near the opening and the dragon/fish finial. A nice Kard.

As it was said before, in my oppinion too, it is 19th century Ottoman, most likely Turkish Kard.
Better photos should help to identify if it is wootz. |

Vendor is getting a professional appraisal. If it's outside my price range, I've told them I'll let people know, so you can descend upon them.

Excellent Ottoman kard.Congratulations
In regard to the silver scabbard, I have some doubts that it is from another set.If the knife comes in without difficulty and stands tight then everything is ok. |

According to some members it will be Greek but i think it's a Turkish bishaq... A kard is Persian.... |

Greek scabbard (Crete). Card with a strong Persian influence. Согласен с OsobistGB Ножны греческие (Крит). Кард с сильным персидским влиянием. |

You got yourself a very good and fully genuine Kard, it is unquestionably authentic, but full originality of its composing parts cannot be proven. It is not a defect but just an inevitable consequence of its age and active usage. |
