Hi,

Yes they are.
Look at this page:

You have also the Passau wolf on your blade.
I'm very jealous it's a very good sword!!
20th c. are you joking?
I would say 18 or 19 th c.
Jim will tell you...

Best,
Kubur

Hello Kubur,

Really thank's a lot for your precious comments !

For the turkish marks/tughras I was not sure, the auction company sold it for a 20th century sword... I found it strange because the scabbard too seems old.. !!
I knew the blade was old but didn't know about origin,
so Big Thanks with the Passau Wolf I didn't know ! It's really interesting !
I find this on internet

Kind Regards

Frankie

Please show us photos of the whole sword!

I wonder where did Kubur see the Passau wolf as I can't see any single photo of the blade?!

PS: All right, now I get it. And yes, I agree with Kubur with the observation that I think the blade is significantly older than the hilt.
