AJ1356: Thank you for the translation. I'm thinking this shamshir would date from the early 1800s, but without an inscribed date that is just a guess on my part...........Dave.

Dave, I agree - at least 19th century blade, made for a boy. The handle/cross combo is later, perhaps Balkan/late Ottoman or later addition. Nice quality woots
