Perhaps if you answered the questions posed re the blade, results might be more forthcoming. I believe some one asked if the blade was sharpened. Also some dimensions and profile details might help........and maybe some clear close ups of the blade itself?
You keep referring to this being Ottoman.....I would have thought that the Ottoman Empire was long gone by the time this sword was made........

I don't think that I mentioned that I have this sword. So it will be diffcult for me to answer to these questions. There are the best photos that I have. I don't know if it was Ottoman, but you have to know that Ottoman empire lasted up to 1920ties...
