Default Kaskara, european (?) blade

Just bought this kaskara at a price i couldn't refuse. it was listed as a 'turkish' sword...thanks for any comments.

scabbard looks is in very good shape, as is the grip. should be with me in a few days when i'll add more info. interesting inscribed decorations on the blade appear to be a bit crude in european styles with some 'arabic' (ersatz?). one deep stamped mark in the fuller near the grip. is it a 'fly' variant?
