Kard but from where
I got this wootz kard recently. The T-spined blade has about 27 cm (11").
It was advertised as Persian or Bukharan kard. However, I believe it has some unmistakeable Ottoman features. So what do you think?!

I’ve seen this sold several years ago. Without a doubt I lean towards Ottoman by the end of the scabbard and the hilt.
Both Persians and Ottomans used walrus ivory and both used scabbards like this. A really nice piece, congratulations. |

the coiled wire seam on the scabbard as well as the tip scream Turkish.

Good point Kronckew. This scabbard looks very Ottoman to me.

Hello Marius
I think you're absolutely right. This is not Persia and moreover it is not Bukhara. My opinion is a very good Ottoman kard. My congratulations |
