			Very nice sword: with this European blade with talismanic i nscriptions and a Turk's head (if I am seeing he pitures correctly), to me it looks like something that is associated with the infamous Pandours. Regards, Teodor |

			To me it seems like one of those pieces from Southern Italy, Naples manufactured trade sword made for export to the Ottoman empire. Nice piece IMHO
