Hello,
would you be so kind to help identifying this sword ?
The shape of the blade looks oriental to me (maybe ottoman) and the stamp might be arabic, but I can't be sure of it.
On the other hand the handle and the scabbard seem to be more from western Europe, maybe french 1st empire, but I'm definitely not a specialist of these weapons. Any ideas ?
