Gentlemen,
Here is another sword with Ottoman hilt, which has a marking that also resembles a tughra. The blade is plain, no pattern. I have many questions:
- Is the blade European, or si it just made to resemble a European blade?
- My friend, who has the benefit of having the sword in hand, believes it is dated 1174. I personally do not see a date, just markings perhaps resembling a date. What is your take?

Thank you all for your comments,

Teodor
