Karabela, any thoughts, which century, origin?

[awdaniec666]

Serdar hates me anyway because I always bring him bad news. But the comment is intended for other interested people anyway.

The blade comes from an Indian tulwar, as has already been suspected. The hilt is atypical, too chunky for a typical karabela. However, the individual parts look age-appropriate. In the best case, this is a Turkish production made from old parts, in the other case a Frankensword.

Save your spiteful replies, Serdar. I only come here every few months to see what's new anyway.
