Alex, you are mixing between me and AJ.

What I meant by 'early' mamluke sabre is that its from the early generation of swords taken by Napoleon's army during the invasion of Egypt. to me, the other generation of European 'mamluke' swords are the ones made in Europe with European everything. Napoleon invaded Egypt in the 19th century, yep?

Early Mamluke swords were straight as far as I know :P
