Hopping to make a your day better, I am posting this very bad picture (with very good intentions...) that I took illegaly at a museum in Timisoara, about Transylvanian history. This type seems to have been popular in the late 18th early 19th century in the Ottoman sphere of influence, in this case a border tampon region , like Transylvania or Banat. The blade and scabbard differs quite a bit from yours but the crossguard is much the same, specially the disputed material ...
