Very interesting. The form is Syrian/Badawi but the work is not typical and intriguing. I have a Badawi saber with an old blade refurbished in contemporary improvised fittings, with a similar green velvet sheath, but the work is plain, not to say crude.

Yep, this is an interesting piece. It does look like the Syrian saif but there is something off (very) with it.. I dont know, it could be as Broadaxe says?

Things does get rehilted often in Syria and KSA.. so its all possible.

Well its possible. I am not knowledgable with East European arms but I always thought Hungarians had swords similar to Ottoman and sometimes Syrian stuff?
